Never was a faithful prayer lost. Some prayers have a longer voyage than others, but then they return with their richer lading at last, so that the praying soul is a gainer by waiting for an answer.

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

He that is impatient, and cannot wait on God for a mercy, will not easily submit to Him in a denial.

Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.

God hath made it a debt which one saint owes to another to carry their names to a throne of grace.

God Himself underwrites your battle and has appointed His own Son 'the captain of your salvation'.

It is not only our duty to pray for others, but also to desire the prayers of others for ourselves.
