To pray in the name of Christ is to pray as one who is at one with Christ, whose minid is the mind of Christ, whose desires are the desires of Christ, and whose purpose is one with that of Christ.

A gift without a heart behind it is a bribe. God asks for our heart, not our gifts.

The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayer-less religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.

It is wonderful what God can do with a broken heart, if He gets all the pieces.

Communion is deeper than theology.

The great souls who became mighty in prayer and rejoiced to spend three and four hours a day alone with God were once beginners.

The Church gives more time, thought, and money to recreation and sport than to prayer.
