Prayer honors God, acknowledges His being, exalts His power, adores His providence, secures His aid.

. . . every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God's work and is powerless to project God's cause in this world.

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

The reformer is one who with clarion voice will call the ministry back to it's knees.

Praying gives sense, brings wisdom, broadens and strengthens the mind. The closet is a perfect school-teacher and schoolhouse for the preacher. Thought is not only brightened and clarified in prayer, but thought is born in prayer. We can learn more in an hour praying, when praying indeed, than from many hours in the study.

A life growing in its purity and devotion will be a more prayerful life.

By prayer, the ability is secured to feel the law of love, to speak according to the law of love, and to do everything in harmony with the law of love.
