Heaven is too busy to listen to half-hearted prayers or to respond to pop-calls.

if the devil can get the church to withdraw from prayer by believing reasonable excuses, the church is under his dominion.

God's cause is committed to men; God commits Himself to men. Praying men are the vice-regents of God; they do His work and carry out His plans.

The story of every great Christian achievement is the history of answered prayer.

There is neither encouragement nor room in Bible religion for feeble desires, listless efforts, lazy attitudes; all must be strenuous, urgent, ardent. Flamed desires, impassioned, unwearied insistence delight heaven. God would have His children incorrigibly in earnest and persistently bold in their efforts. Heaven is too busy to listen to half-hearted prayers or to respond to pop-calls. Our whole being must be in our praying.

God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. They outlive the lives of those who uttered them.

God shapes the world by prayer. The prayers of God's saints are the capitol stock of heaven by which God carries on His great work upon the earth.
