Why Do You Pray?
Some people pray just to pray, and some people pray to know God.

Pray Right Where You Are
If you are ever inclined to pray for a missionary, do it at once, wherever you are.

Prayer Is the Work, Not Just the Preparation
Prayer does not equip us for greater works. Prayer is the greater work.

Prayer, the Greatest Power in the Entire Universe
My own soul’s conviction is that prayer is the grandest power in the entire universe, that it has a more omnipotent force than electricity, attraction, gravity, or any other of those secret forces which men have called by name, but which they do not understand.
Prayer, the Fragrance of a Christian’s Life
What is prayer? Not the utterance of words — they are but the vehicle; but the attitude of the spirit. Communion, aspiration, and submission, these three are the elements of prayer — and these three may be diffused through a life.

Prepare for Sunday Today
If you would receive a blessing from the Lord, when you hear his word preached, pray to him, both before, in, and after every sermon.

Prayer Comes from Poverty, Not Power
Prayer is God’s answer to our poverty, not a power we exercise to obtain an answer.

“We Will Give Ourselves to Prayer” (Acts 6.4)
Prayer makes the man; prayer makes the preacher; prayer makes the pastor.
True Prayer Brings God and Man Together
May people’s notion is that prayer is urging our wishes on God, and that His answer is giving us what we desire. But true prayer is the meeting in harmony of God’s will and man’s, and its deepest expression is not, Do this, because I desire it, O Lord; but, I do this because Thou desirest it, O Lord.
