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.

Edward McKendree BoundsPrayer is God's plan to supply man's great and continuous need with God's great and continuous abundance.

Edward McKendree BoundsLove is kindled in a flame, and ardency is its life. Flame is the air which true Christian experience breathes.

True prayer must be aflame.
