The prayer that prevails is not the work of lips and fingertips. It is the cry of a broken heart and the travail of a stricken soul.

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

The Secret of Praying is Praying in Secret. The secret place of prayer calls for every faculty of mind and heart.

Prayer in secret is life finding expression in the realized Presence of God our Father.

There is no way to learn to pray but by praying.

The Holy Ghost does not come upon methods, but upon men. He does not anoint machinery, but men. He does not work through organizations, but through men. He does not dwell in buildings, but men. He indwells the Body of Christ, directs its activities, distributes its forces, empowers its members.

Prayer is the acid test of devotion.
