Pursuing prayer is prayer on a mission. It is diligent, fervent, constant, persevering, determined, and convinced.

Prayer is action. By it we step out in advance of all other results . . . Praying is an activity upon which all others depend.

All other missionary efforts simply gather up the fruits of our praying.

God cannot lead you on the basis of facts that you do not know.
