God's cause is committed to men; God commits Himself to men. Praying men are the vice-regents of God; they do His work and carry out His plans.

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

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

The only limits to prayer are the promises of God and His ability to fulfill those promises.

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

I think Christians fail so often to get answers to their prayers because they do not wait long enough on God. They just drop down and say a few words, and then jump up and forget it and expect God to answer them. Such praying always reminds me of the small boy ringing his neighbor's door-bell, and then running away as fast as he can go.

To say prayers in a decent, delicate way is not heavy work. But to pray really, to pray till hell feels the ponderous stroke, to pray till the iron gates of difficulty are opened, till the mountains of obstacles are removed, till the mists are exhaled and the clouds are lifted, and the sunshine of a cloudless day brightens-this is hard work, but it is God's work, and man's best labor.
