Image
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
Prayer is a specific divine appointment, an ordinance of Heaven, whereby God purposes to carry out His gracious designs on earth and to execute and make efficient the plan of salvation.
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
Natural ability and educational advantages do not figure as factors in this matter of prayer but a capacity for faith, the power of a thorough consecration, the ability of self-littleness, an absolute losing of one's self in God's glory and an ever present and insatiable yearning and seeking after all the fullness of God.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
The only limits to prayer are the promises of God and His ability to fulfill those promises.
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

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
The word of God is the food by which prayer is nourished and made strong.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Straight praying is never born of crooked conduct.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
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
Image
Prayer thrives in the atmosphere of true devotion.
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 world needs more true praying to save it from the reign and ruin of Satan.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Prayer and a holy life are one. They mutually act and react. Neither can survive alone. The absence of the one is the absence of the other.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
He who would pray, must obey.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
God is waiting to be put to the test by His people in prayer. He delights in being put to the test on His promises. It is His highest pleasure to answer prayer, to prove the reliability of His promises.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Prayer breaks all bars, dissolves all chains, opens all prisons, and widens all straits by which God's saints have been held.
