Public prayers are of little worth unless they are founded on or followed up by private praying.

Holy living is essential preparation for prayer.

The possibilities of prayer are found in its allying itself with the purposes of God, for God's purposes and man's praying are the combination of all potent and omnipotent forces.

God requires to be represented by a fiery Church... two things are intolerable to Him-insincerity and lukewarmness.

The first and last stages of holy living are crowned with praying.

Trouble and prayer are closely related. Trouble often drives men to God in prayer, while prayer is but the voice of men in trouble.

Prayer is of transcendent importance. Prayer is the mightiest agent to advance God's work. Praying hearts and hands only can do God's work. Prayer succeeds when all else fails.
