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.

Destitute of the fire of God, nothing else counts; possessing fire, nothing else matters.

The world will never believe in a religion in which there is no power.

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

It takes us long to learn that prayer is more important than organization, more powerful than armies, more influential than wealth and mightier than all learning.

Prayer is the acid test of devotion.

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