E.M. Bounds — Power Through Prayer

Having everything else and lacking prayer, they must fall. Having prayer and lacking all else, they can succeed.

God can work wonders if He can get a suitable man. Men can work wonders if they can get God to lead them.

Never did the cause of God need perfect illustrations of the possibilities of prayer more than in this age.

To pray is the greatest thing we can do: and to do it well there must be calmness, time, and deliberation; otherwise it is degraded into the smallest and meanest of things.

Preachers are not sermon makers, but men makers and saint makers, and he only is well-trained for this business who has made himself a man and a saint.

Prayer is the preacher's mightiest weapon. An almighty force in itself, it gives life and force to all.
