Image
The word of God is the food by which prayer is nourished and made strong.

Image
It is true that Bible prayers in word and print are short, but the praying men of the Bible were with God through many a sweet and holy wrestling hour. They won by few words but long waiting.

Image
God's Word does not say, Call unto me, and you will thereby be trained into the happy art of knowing how to be denied. Ask, and you will learn sweet patience by getting nothing. Far from it. But it is definite, clear and positive: Ask, and it shall be given unto you.

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
Image
if the devil can get the church to withdraw from prayer by believing reasonable excuses, the church is under his dominion.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
We can learn more in an hour praying, when praying indeed, than from many hours of rigorous study.

Image
The world needs more true praying to save it from the reign and ruin of Satan.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Christianity is not rationalism, but faith in Gods revelation. A conspicuous, all-important item in that revelation is the resurrection of the body.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Every mighty move of the Spirit of God has had its source in the prayer chamber.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
The first and last stages of holy living are crowned with praying.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
In doing God's work, there is no substitute for praying. The men of prayer cannot be displaced with other kinds of men.

Image
Crucified preaching only can give life. Crucified preaching can come only from a crucified man.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
The men who have most fully illustrated Christ in their character and have most powerfully affected the world for Him have been men who spend so much time with God as to make it a notable feature in their lives.

Image
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.
