Prayer does not influence God. Prayer surely does influence God. It does not influence His purpose. It does influence His action.

Faith is blind...to impossibilities and deaf to doubt. It listens only to God.

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 greatest thing anyone can do for God or man is pray.

Spirit discernment is rare because it is expensive. It means a sensitive conscience, an instructed understanding through study of the Book of God. It means a passion for purity, for truth, for the right, for Christ Himself, and for living uncompromisingly true in the daily habit. All this lies back of a seeing spirit eye. And these things cost. Discernment is expensive.
