When the Lord is to lead a soul to great faith he leaves its prayers unheard.

Prayer meetings are the throbbing machinery of the church.

Prayer is the breath of faith. Prayer meetings are the lungs of the church.

Prayer is the barometer of the church.

Did not God sometimes withhold in mercy what we ask, we should be ruined at our own request.

If you would never cease to pray, never cease to long after it. The continuance of your longing is the continuance of your prayer.

Prayer is the pillow of religion.

Prayer is the first thing, the second thing, the third thing necessary to a minister. Pray, then my dear brother; pray, pray, pray.

We ask what we think to be best; God gives what he knows to be best.

All I know is that when I pray, coincidences happen; and when I don't pray, they don't happen.

A person without prayer is like a tree without roots.

You know the value of prayer: it is precious beyond all price. Never, never neglect it.

We ask for silver and God sometimes sends his denials wrapped in gold.

The great tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer but unoffered prayer.

If God had granted all the silly prayers I’ve made in my life, where would I be now?

God always answers us in the deeps, never in the shallows of our soul.

What is the life of a Christian but a life of prayer?

The best Christian is he that is the greatest monopolizer of time for private prayer.

Prayer is the most important thing you can do as a father.
