More quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds
Public prayers are of little worth unless they are founded on or followed up by private praying.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The sanctity of prayer is needed to impregnate business. We need the spirit of Sunday carried over to Monday and continued until Saturday. But this cannot be done by prayerless men, but by men of prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
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
Preaching is not the performance of an hour. It is the outflow of a life. It takes twenty years to make a sermon because it takes twenty years to make the man. The true sermon is a thing of life. The sermon grows because the man grows.
Edward McKendree Bounds
if the devil can get the church to withdraw from prayer by believing reasonable excuses, the church is under his dominion.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Holy living is essential preparation for prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Praying men must be strong in hope, and faith, and prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
By prayer, the ability is secured to feel the law of love, to speak according to the law of love, and to do everything in harmony with the law of love.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Sainthood's piety is made, refined, perfected, by prayer. The gospel moves with slow and timid pace when the saints are not at their prayers early and late and long.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer thrives in the atmosphere of true devotion.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Those who know God the best are the richest and most powerful in prayer. Little acquaintance with God, and strangeness and coldness to Him, make prayer a rare and feeble thing.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer is a trade to be learned. We must be apprentices and serve our time at it. Painstaking care, much thought, practice and labour are required to be a skillful tradesman in praying. Practice in this, as well as in all other trades, makes perfect.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The first and last stages of holy living are crowned with praying.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Four things let us ever keep in mind: God hears prayer, God heeds prayer, God answers prayer, and God delivers by prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The little estimate we put on prayer is evidence from the little time we give to it.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Straight praying is never born of crooked conduct.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The word of God is the food by which prayer is nourished and made strong.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The world needs more true praying to save it from the reign and ruin of Satan.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer is not learned in a classroom but in the closet.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer is God's plan to supply man's great and continuous need with God's great and continuous abundance.
