 If there are two persons praying, there are three. If three meet to pray, there are four praying. There is always one more than you can see. Author: S.D. Gordon |
| The great people of the earth today are the people who pray. I do not mean those who talk about prayer, nor those who say they believe in prayer, nor yet those who can explain about prayer; but I mean these people who take time and pray. They have not time. It must be taken from something else. This something else is important, very important, and pressing, but still less important and less pressing than prayer. There are people that put prayer first, and group the other items in life's schedule around and after prayer. Author: S.D. Gordon |
| If there be anything that can render the soul calm, dissipate its scruples and dispel its fears, sweeten its sufferings by the anointing of love, impart strength to all its actions, and spread abroad the joy of the Holy Spirit in its countenance and words, it is this simple and childlike repose in the arms of God. Author: S.D. Gordon |
| The greatest thing anyone can do for God and man is pray. It is not the only thing; but it is the chief thing. The great people of the earth today are the people who pray. I do not mean those who talk about prayer; not those who can explain about prayer; but I mean those people who take time and pray. Author: S.D. Gordon |
| You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed. Author: S.D. Gordon |
| Prayer is repeating the victor's name (Jesus) into the ears of Satan and insisting on his retreat. Author: S.D. Gordon |

| Prayer wonderfully clears the vision; steadies the nerves; defines duty; stiffens the purpose; sweetens and strengthens the spirit. Author: S.D. Gordon |
| Prayer is partnership with God in His planet-sized purposes, and includes the "all things" beside, as an important detail of the whole. Author: S.D. Gordon |
| Prayer strikes the winning blow; service is simply picking up the pieces. Author: S.D. Gordon |
| Prayer does not influence God. Prayer surely does influence God. It does not influence His purpose. It does influence His action. Author: S.D. Gordon |
| We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God -- ah, then things must be critical indeed! Author: A.J. Gossip |
| Christ holds that prayer is a tremendous power which achieves what, without it, was a sheer impossibility. And this amazing thing you can set into operation. And the fact that you are not so using it, and simply don't believe in it and its efficiency and efficacy as our fathers did, and that so many nowadays agree with you, is certainly a major reason why the churches are so cold, and the promises seem so tardy of fulfillment.
