of grief
The highest privilege of man is to talk to God
God answers our prayers not because of our goodness but because of our
position in Jesus Christ
Prayer is an interruption of personal ambition
The christian life is a battleground not a playground
Prayer does not change God but changes him who prays
Prayer is not a duty but a delight
Prayer crowns God with the honour and glory due to His name, and God
crowns prayer with assurance and comfort.

ourselves and to others that without God we can do nothing.
Prayer is essentially man standing and responding before His maker in
wonder, awe and humility
Prayer is faith laying hold on God's promises
Life's outlook is a prayerful uplook
An attitude of prayer will create an atmosphere of prayer
Our prayer and God's mercy are like 2 buckets in a well, while one
ascends, the other descend
The end of worry is prayer and the end of prayer is peace
Prayer is a powerful thing because God has bound it to himself
Prayer is the channel of all blessings and secret of power and life
When God's people turn to pray they are on the way to revival
Prayer changes everything, it changes the one who prays and it changes
the one prayed for
