Prayer is the one prime, eternal condition by which the Father is pledged to put the Son in possession of the world. Christ prays through His people. Had there been importunate, universal, and continuous prayer by God's people, long ere this the earth had been possessed for Christ.
Edward McKendree BoundsPrayer concerns God, whose purposes and plans are conditioned on prayer. His will and His glory are bound up in praying.
