The greatest thing anyone can do for God and for man is to pray. You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed. Prayer is striking the winning blow ... service is gathering up the results.

If we lose the spirit of 'go,' we have lost the very Christian spirit itself. A disobedient church will become a dead church. It will die of heart failure.

If there are two persons praying, there are three. If three meet to pray, there are four praying. There is always one more than you can see.

One should never initiate anything that he cannot saturate with prayer.

Prayer wonderfully clears the vision; steadies the nerves; defines duty; stiffens the purpose; sweetens and strengthens the spirit.

The men who seem to know most of God's power have had great, unspeakable longings, at times, for a fresh consciousness of that power.

Prayer strikes the winning blow; service is simply picking up the pieces.
