Prayer is such a great effort to most of us because we do not pray right.

It is only when we pray for something according to the will of God that we have the promise of being heard and answered.

To pray is to open the door unto Jesus and admit Him into your distress. Your helplessness is the very thing which opens wide the door unto Him and gives Him access to all your needs.

Our prayer life will become restful when it really dawns upon us that we have done all we are supposed to do when we have spoken to Him about it. From the moment we have left it with Him, it is His responsi-bility.

The Spirit of prayer makes us so intimate with God that we scarcely pass through an experience before we speak to Him about it, either in supplication, in sighing, in pouring out our woes before Him, in fervent requests, or in thanksgiving and adoration.

Helplessness is the real secret and the impelling power of prayer.

Prayer is the conduit through which power from heaven is brought to earth.
