Prayer is a specific divine appointment, an ordinance of Heaven, whereby God purposes to carry out His gracious designs on earth and to execute and make efficient the plan of salvation.

The stream of praying cannot rise higher than the fountain of living.

A holy life does not live in the closet, but it cannot live without the closet.

Prayer thrives in the atmosphere of true devotion.

Natural ability and educational advantages do not figure as factors in this matter of prayer; but a capacity for faith, the power of a thorough consecration, the ability of self-littleness, an absolute losing of one's self in God's glory and an ever present and insatiable yearning and seeking after all the fullness of God.

Importunate praying is the earnest inward movement of the heart toward God.

Four things let us ever keep in mind: God hears prayer, God heeds prayer, God answers prayer, and God delivers by prayer.

We can learn more in an hour praying, when praying indeed, than from many hours of rigorous study.

God's cause is committed to men; God commits Himself to men. Praying men are the vice-regents of God; they do His work and carry out His plans.
