God shapes the world by prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds

Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
No erudition, no purity of diction, no width of mental outlook, no flowers of eloquence, no grace of person can atone for lack of fire. Prayer ascends by fire. Flame gives prayer access as well as wings, acceptance as well as energy. There is no incense without fire no prayer without flame.

Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
The reformer is one who with clarion voice will call the ministry back to it's knees.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
The little estimate we put on prayer is evidence from the little time we give to it.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Prayer is the greatest of all forces, because it honors God and brings him into active aid.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
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.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
The word of God is the food by which prayer is nourished and made strong.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Prayer honors God, acknowledges His being, exalts His power, adores His providence, secures His aid.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
