Importunity is a condition of prayer. We are to press the matter, not with vain repetitions, but with urgent repetitions. We repeat, not to count the times, but to gain the prayer. We cannot quit praying because heart and soul are in it. We pray "with all perseverance." We hang to our prayers because by them we live. We press our pleas because we must have them, or die.

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

God shapes the world by prayer. The more prayer there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces of against evil

Non-praying is lawlessness, discord, anarchy.

Prayer, like faith, obtains promises, enlarges their operation, and adds to the measure of their results.

We can learn more in an hour praying, when praying indeed, than from many hours of rigorous study.

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