More quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds
God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. The lips that uttered them may be closed to death, the heart that felt them may have ceased to beat, but the prayers live before God, and God's heart is set on them and prayers outlive the lives of those who uttered them they outlive a generation, outlive an age, outlive a world.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer honors God, acknowledges His being, exalts His power, adores His providence, secures His aid.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Straight praying is never born of crooked conduct.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer thrives in the atmosphere of true devotion.
Edward McKendree Bounds
We regard prayer no longer as a duty which must be performed, but rather as a privilege which is to be enjoyed, a rare delight that is always revealing some new beauty.
Edward McKendree Bounds
He only can truly pray who is all aglow for holiness, for God, and for heaven.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer is the greatest of all forces, because it honors God and brings him into active aid.

Edward McKendree Bounds
It is necessary to iterate and reiterate that prayer, as a mere habit, as a performance gone through by routine or in a professional way, is a dead and rotten thing.
Edward McKendree Bounds
We can never know God as it is our privilege to know Him by brief repetitions that are requests for personal favors, and nothing more.
Edward McKendree Bounds
No man can do a great and enduring work for God who is not a man of prayer, and no man can be a man of prayer who does not give much time to praying.
Edward McKendree Bounds
That man is the most immortal who has done the most and the best praying. They are God heroes, God's saints, God's servants, God's vicegerents.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Crucified preaching only can give life. Crucified preaching can come only from a crucified man.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The little estimate we put on prayer is evidence from the little time we give to it.
Edward McKendree Bounds
We must lose all for Christ in order to gain all for Christ.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer concerns God, whose purposes and plans are conditioned on prayer. His will and His glory are bound up in praying.
Edward McKendree Bounds
God shapes the world by prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The story of every great Christian achievement is the history of answered prayer.
