The prayers of God's saints strengthen the unborn generation against the desolating waves of sin and evil.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
It is not great talents or great learning or great preachers that God needs, but men great in holiness, great in faith, great in love, great in fidelity, great for God.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Prayer is God's plan to supply man's great and continuous need with God's great and continuous abundance.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
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.

Crucified preaching only can give life. Crucified preaching can come only from a crucified man.

Public prayers are of little worth unless they are founded on or followed up by private praying.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
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
Image
Trouble and prayer are closely related. Trouble often drives men to God in prayer, while prayer is but the voice of men in trouble.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
It is true that Bible prayers in word and print are short, but the praying men of the Bible were with God through many a sweet and holy wrestling hour. They won by few words but long waiting.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
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
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
Image
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.

Image
The stream of praying cannot rise higher than the fountain of living.
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
Love is kindled in a flame, and ardency is its life. Flame is the air which true Christian experience breathes. It feeds on fire it can withstand anything rather than a feeble flame but when the surrounding atmosphere is frigid or lukewarm, it dies, chilled and starved to its vitals. True prayer must be aflame.

The reformer is one who with clarion voice will call the ministry back to it's knees.

Image
Straight praying is never born of crooked conduct.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
When trust is perfect and there is no doubt, prayer is simply the outstretched hand ready to receive.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
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.

Prayer succeeds when all else fails
