some time; no matter at how distant a day, somehow, in some shape,
probably the least I would have devised, it came." Adoniram Judson

our own need as a burden we must lay upon God, but also because we are so
bound up in love for our fellow men that we feel their need as acutely as our
own. To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in
which we can express our love for them." John Calvin

who knows how to overcome with God in prayer has Heaven and earth at his
disposal." Charles H. Spurgeon
33. "Prayer is a spiritual law which cooperates with the mind of God. It has more in
it than merely petition. It clothes itself in reality and power, with the force of
God Himself. It is an attitude of spirit and mind. Language is secondary in true
prayer." Gossner.
34. “What the church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new
organizations or more novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can

that passeth all understanding, are always men and women of much prayer.”

away before God has a chance to reply. Listening to God is far more
important than giving Him our ideas.” Frank Laubach

gives work its worth and its success. Prayer opens the way for God Himself to
do His work in us and through us. Let our chief work as God's messengers be
intercession; in it we secure the presence and power of God to go with
us." Andrew Murray

delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very
God Himself in the core and center of their hearts.” A.W. Tozer
43. "Prayer is the secret of power." Evan Roberts
44. "Since the days of Pentecost, has the whole church ever put aside every other
work and waited upon Him for ten days, that the Spirit’s power might be
manifested? We give too much attention to method and machinery and
resources, and too little to the source of power." Hudson Taylor
45. "Where there is no vision of eternity, there is no prayer for the perishing."
David Smithers
46. "Prayer is buried, and lost and Heaven weeps. If all prayed the wicked would

Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His
redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect
great things!" Andrew Murray
