The whole meaning of prayer is that we may know God.

It is by no haphazard chance that in every age men have risen early to pray. The first thing that marks decline in spiritual life is our relationship to the early morning.

Drudgery is one of the finest touchstones of character there is. Drudgery is work that is very far removed from anything to do with the ideal - the utterly mean grubby things; and when we come in contact with them we know instantly whether or not we are spiritually real.

We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense.

Whenever God's will is in the ascendant all compulsion is gone. When we choose deliberately to obey Him then with all His almighty power.

The greatest answer to prayer is that I am brought into a perfect understanding with God, and that alters my view of actual things.

The Christian Church should not be a secret society of specialists, but a public manifestation of believers in Jesus.
