The preaching which is most successful is that ministry which has much prayer in it. Perhaps one might go so far as to say that is the only kind that is successful. ~E. M. Bounds, The Weapon of Prayer
Men who are brave, persistent, illustrious in other pursuits ought to be full of courage, unfainting, strong-hearted in prayer. ~E. M. Bounds, Purpose in Prayer
The [prayer] closet is not an asylum for the indolent and worthless Christian. It is not a nursery where none but babes belong. It is the battlefield of the Church; its citadel; the scene of heroic and unearthly conflicts. The closet is the base of supplies for the Christian and the Church. Cut off from it there is nothing left but retreat and disaster. The energy for work, the mastery over self, the deliverance from fear, all spiritual results and graces, are much advanced by prayer. The difference between the strength, the experience, the holiness of Christians is found in the contrast in their praying. ~E. M. Bounds, Purpose in Prayer
