Those who know God the best are the richest and most powerful in prayer. Little acquaintance with God, and strangeness and coldness to Him, make prayer a rare and feeble thing.

If we would have God in the closet, God must have us out of the closet. There is no way of praying to God, but by living to God.

We can do nothing without prayer. All things can be done by importunate prayer. That is the teaching of Jesus Christ

The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking Him the rest of the day. 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.

Prayer is not learned in a classroom but in the closet.

In doing God's work, there is no substitute for praying. The men of prayer cannot be displaced with other kinds of men.

Prayer puts God's work in his hands-and keeps it there.
