From Purpose in Prayer, by E.M. Bounds
Importunity is a condition of prayer. We are to press the matter with vigorous energy.
Prayer is no fitful, shortlived thing. It is a voice which goes into God’s ear.
Praying men are God’s chosen leaders. The distinction between the leaders that God brings to the front is this, God’s leaders are pre-eminently men of prayer.
The secret of success in Christ’s Kingdom is the ability to pray.
Prayer is a trade to be learned. We must be apprentices and serve our time at it.
Prayerlessness is expatriation from God’s Kingdom. It is outlawry, a high crime.
Prayer is the easiest and hardest of all things; the simplest and the sublimest.
God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless.
Prayer then loses every vestige of dread; we regard it no longer as a duty but rather as a privilege.
