Satan cannot deny but that great wonders have been wrought by prayer. As the spirit of prayer goes up, so his kingdom goes down. Satan's strategems against prayer are three. First, if he can, he will keep thee from prayer. If that be not feasible, secondly, he will strive to interrupt thee in prayer. And, thirdly, if that plot takes not, he will labour to hinder the success of thy prayer.

The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.

Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.

Praying is the same to the new creature as crying is to the natural. The child is not learned by art or example to cry, but instructed by nature; it comes into the world crying. Praying is not a lesson got by forms and rules of art, but flowing from principles of new life itself.

He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.

Prayer is nothing but the promise reversed, or God's Word formed into an argument, and retorted by faith upon God again.

God's wounds cure, sin's kisses kill.
