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

Little praying is a kind of make believe, a salve for the conscience, a farce and a delusion.

God is waiting to be put to the test by His people in prayer. He delights in being put to the test on His promises. It is His highest pleasure to answer prayer, to prove the reliability of His promises.

Talking to men for God is a great thing, but talking to God for men is greater still. He will never talk well and with real success to men for God who has not learned well how to talk to God for men.

What the Church needs to-day is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men, men of prayer.

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

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