The Enemy of Secret Prayer – Thomas Brooks

The Enemy of Secret Prayer – Thomas Brooks

Satan is a very great enemy to secret prayer. Secret prayer is a scourge, a hell to Satan. Every secret prayer adds to the devil’s torment, and every secret sigh adds to his torment, and every secret groan adds to his torment, and every secret tear adds to his torment.

– Thomas Brooks –
from The Secret Key To Heaven, 1665

Progress of God’s Kingdom – EM Bounds

When we calmly reflect upon the fact that the progress of our Lord’s kingdom is dependent upon prayer, it is sad to think that we give so little time to the holy exercise.

Beside the Shepherd – AW Tozer

The only safe place for sheep is by the side of the shepherd, because the devil does not fear sheep; he just fears the shepherd.

Precision in Prayer – Charles Spurgeon

Precision in Prayer – Charles Spurgeon

There is a general kind of praying which fails for lack of precision. It’s as if a regiment of soldiers were to all fire off their weapons anywhere. Possibly somebody would be killed, but the majority of the enemy would be missed.
