“I pray to God to give me perseverance and to deign that I be a faithful witness to Him to the end of my life for my God.”

“God, I am trying to recover my faith. Please don't abandon me in the middle ofthis adventure, I prayed, pushing my fears aside.”

“God uses people to help others. I only pray my faith is strong enough to get me through what I have to face.”

“I pray to the God within me that He will give me the strength to ask Him the right questions.”

“I have more faith in my God than to believe He would give me a mind and then ask me not to use it.”

“Men and women are needed whose prayers will give to the world the utmost power of God; who will make His promises to blossom with rich and full results. God is waiting to hear us and challenges us to bring Him to do this thing by our praying. He is asking us, to-day, as He did His ancient Israel, to prove Him now herewith." Behind God's Word is God Himself, and we read: "Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, his Maker: Ask of me of things to come and concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me." As though God places Himself in the hands and at the disposal of His people who pray - as indeed He does. The dominant element of all praying is faith, that is conspicuous, cardinal and emphatic. Without such faith it is impossible to please God, and equally impossible to pray.”
