Heavenly citizenship and heavenly homesickness are in prayer. Prayer is an appeal from the lowness, from the emptiness, from the need of earth, to the highness, the fullness and to the all-sufficiency of heaven.

A life growing in its purity and devotion will be a more prayerful life.

Prayer in Jesus' name puts the crowning crown on God, because it glorifies Him through the Son and it pledges the Son to give to men 'whatsoever and anything' they shall ask.

. . . every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God's work and is powerless to project God's cause in this world.

The character of our praying will determine the character of our preaching. Light praying makes light preaching.

If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day.

Private place and plenty of time are the life of prayer.
