“Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance. It is laying hold of His willingness.”

“The fewer the words, the better the prayer.”

“No one can believe how powerful prayer is and what it can effect, except those who have learned it by experience. Whenever I have prayed earnestly, I have been heard and have obtained more than I prayed for. God sometimes delays, but He always comes.”

“He who believes God, recognizes Him as true and faithful, and himself as a liar; for he mistrusts his own thinking as false, and trusts the Word of God as being true, though it absolutely contradicts his own reasoning.”

“Thus God's work and His eyes are in the depths, but man's only in the height.”

“I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.”

“I've got so much work to do today, I'd better spend two hours in prayer instead of one.”
