“Prayer is not learned in a classroom but in the closet.”
“We love orthodoxy. It is good. It is the best. It is the clean, clear cut teaching of God’s Word, the trophies won by truth in its conflict with error, the levees which faith has raised against the desolating floods of honest or reckless misbelief or unbelief; but orthodoxy, clear and hard as crystal, suspicious and militant, may be but the letter well shaped, well named, and well learned, the letter which kills. Nothing is so dead as a dead orthodoxy — too dead to speculate, too dead to think, to study, or to pray.”
“The word of God is the food by which prayer is nourished and made strong.”
“Jesus taught that perseverance is the essential element in prayer.”
“It is only when the whole heart is gripped with the passion of prayer, that the life-giving fire descends, for none but the earnest man gets access to the ear of God.”
