To win men to acceptance of Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord is the only reason Christians are left in this world.

If we would pray aright, the first thing we should do is to see to it that we really get an audience with God, that we really get into His very presence. Before a word of petition is offered, we should have the definite consciousness that we are talking to God, and should believe that He is listening and is going to grant the thing that we ask of Him.

Prayer will promote our personal holiness as nothing else, except the study of the Word of God.

The chief purpose of prayer is that God may be glorified in the answer.

Prayer that is born of meditation upon the Word of God is the prayer that soars upward most easily to God's listening ears.

The man or woman at home who prays often has as much to do with the effectiveness of the missionary on the field, and consequently with the results of his or her labors, as the missionary.

If we then let the words of Christ abide in us, they will stir us up in prayer.
