R. A. Torrey
Pray for great things, expect great things, work for great things, but above all pray.
R. A. Torrey
When the perceptive child of God stops to weigh the meaning of these words, then notes the connection in which they are found, he or she is driven to say, I must pray, pray, pray. I must put all my energy and heart into prayer. Whatever else I do, I must pray.
R. A. Torrey
God has not changed and His ear is just as quick to hear the voice of real prayer, and His hand is just as long and strong to save as it ever was.
R. A. Torrey
Just as one gets the firstfruits of spiritual salvation in the life that now is, so we get the firstfruits of our physical salvation in the life that now is.
R. A. Torrey
