Prayer makes a godly man, and puts within him "the mind of Christ," the mind of humility, of self-surrender, of service, of pity, and of prayer. If we really pray, we will become more like God, or else we will quit praying.

We can never know God as it is our privilege to know Him by brief repetitions that are requests for personal favors, and nothing more.

Our praying, to be strong, must be buttressed by holy living. The life of faith perfects the prayer of faith.

Few persons are made of such strong fiber that they will make a costly outlay when surface work will pass as well in the market.

The most important lesson we can learn is how to pray. Prayers do not die, prayers live before God, and God's heart is set on them.

The lazy man does not, will not, cannot pray, for prayer demands energy.

God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. They outlive the lives of those who uttered them.
