More quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds

Edward McKendree Bounds

Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer is the greatest of all forces, because it honors God and brings him into active aid.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Men would pray better if they lived better. They would get more from God if they lived more obedient and well-pleasing to God.
Edward McKendree Bounds
I feel it is far better to begin with God, to see His face first, to get my soul near Him before it is near another. In general it is best to have at least one hour alone with God before engaging in anything else.
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
Prayer is God's plan to supply man's great and continuous need with God's great and continuous abundance.
