More quotes by 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
Jesus taught that perseverance is the essential element in prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer is the lungs through which holiness breathes. Prayer is not only the language of spiritual life, but also makes its very essence and forms its real character. O for a faith that will not shrink though pressed by every foe That will not tremble on the brink of any earthly woe. Lord, give us such a faith as this... whatever may come.
Edward McKendree Bounds
God shapes the world by prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The world needs more true praying to save it from the reign and ruin of Satan.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Safety is in Heaven. Put your values there only put your heart there. No tears are there to flood your heart, no sorrows there to break it, no losses there to grieve and embitter.
Edward McKendree Bounds
No man can do a great and enduring work for God who is not a man of prayer, and no man can be a man of prayer who does not give much time to praying.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer honors God, acknowledges His being, exalts His power, adores His providence, secures His aid.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The reformer is one who with clarion voice will call the ministry back to it's knees.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Praying gives sense, brings wisdom, broadens and strengthens the mind. The closet is a perfect school-teacher and schoolhouse for the preacher. Thought is not only brightened and clarified in prayer, but thought is born in prayer. We can learn more in an hour praying, when praying indeed, than from many hours in the study.
Edward McKendree Bounds
If we would have God in the closet, God must have us out of the closet. There is no way of praying to God, but by living to God.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer is of transcendent importance. Prayer is the mightiest agent to advance God's work. Praying hearts and hands only can do God's work. Prayer succeeds when all else fails.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The stream of praying cannot rise higher than the fountain of living.
Edward McKendree Bounds
That man cannot possibly be called a Christian, who does not pray.
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
We can never know God as it is our privilege to know Him by brief repetitions that are requests for personal favors, and nothing more.
Edward McKendree Bounds
A man can pray better because of the prayers of the past a man can live holier because of the prayers of the past the man of many and acceptable prayers has done the truest and greatest service to the incoming generation.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer breaks all bars, dissolves all chains, opens all prisons, and widens all straits by which God's saints have been held.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Praying men must be strong in hope, and faith, and prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
A holy life does not live in the closet, but it cannot live without the closet.
