God's Word does not say, "Call unto me, and you will thereby be trained into the happy art of knowing how to be denied. Ask, and you will learn sweet patience by getting nothing." Far from it. But it is definite, clear and positive: "Ask, and it shall be given unto you."

Praying which does not result in pure conduct is a delusion. We have missed the whole office and virtue of praying if it does not rectify conduct. It is in the very nature of things that we must quit praying, or quit bad conduct.

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

Holy living is essential preparation for prayer.

Bible revelations are not against reason but above reason, for the uses of faith, mans highest faculty.
