All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.

A real Christian is an odd number, anyway. He feels supreme love for the One whom he has never seen; talks with familiarly every day to Someone he cannot see; expects to go to heaven on the virtue of Another; empties himself in order to be full; admits he is wrong so he can be declared right; goes down in order to get up; is strongest when he is weakest; richest when he is poorest and happiest when he feels the worst. He dies so he can live; forsakes in order to have; gives away so he can keep; sees the invisible; hears the inaudible’ and knows that which passeth understanding.

Though there are some tearful intercessors behind the scenes, I grant you that to our modern Christianity, praying is foreign.

Have you noticed how much praying for revival has been going on of late—and how little revival has resulted? I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.

The best prayers have often more groans than words.
– John Bunyan –
Work as if everything depended upon your work, and pray as if everything depended upon your prayer.
– William Booth –
The law of prayer is the law of harvest: sow sparingly in prayer, reap sparingly; sow bountifully in prayer, reap bountifully. The trouble is we are trying to get from our efforts what we never put into them.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
We must learn to pray, and we must pray to learn to pray.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
Prayer is as mighty as God, because He has committed Himself to answer it.
