It is in the field of prayer that life's critical battles are lost or won...In prayer we bring our spiritual enemies into the Presence of God and we fight them there.

...Prayer is not always petition, sometimes it is just communion. It is the exquisite ministry of friendship.

If we do not catch men, we are in great danger of losing even the desire to catch them. Our purposed activity is in peril of becoming a dream.

All vital praying makes a drain on a man's vitality. True intercession is a sacrifice, a bleeding sacrifice.

God does not comfort us to make us comfortable, but to make us comforters.

Life without thankfulness is devoid of love and passion. Hope without thankfulness is lacking in fine perception. Faith without thankfulness lacks strength and fortitude. Every virtue divorced from thankfulness is maimed and limps along the spiritual road.

Gratitude is a vaccine, an antitoxin, and an antiseptic.
