Daily bread may make us live comfortably but forgiveness of sins will make us die comfortably.

The prayer that is faithless is fruitless.

Prayer is the soul's breathing itself into the bosom of its heavenly Father.

The Ediles among the Romans had their doors always standing open, that all who had petitions might have free access to them. The door of heaven is always open for the prayers of God's people.

The angel fetched Peter out of prison, but it was prayer that fetched the angel.

Those prayers God likes best which come seething hot from the heart.

Praising God is one of the highest and purest acts of religion. In prayer we act like men; in praise we act like angels.

Satan's time of tempting is usually after an ordinance; and the reason is, because then he thinks he shall find us most secure. When we have been at solemn duties, we are apt to think all is done, and we grow remiss, and leave off that zeal and strictness as before; just as a soldier, who after a battle leaves off his armour, not once dreaming, of an enemy. Satan watches his time, and when we least suspect, then he throws in a temptation.
