From The Essentials of Prayer, by E.M. Bounds
Prayer in the time of trouble brings comfort, help, hope, and blessings.
Prayer takes in man in his whole being, mind, soul and body.
Trouble is under the control of Almighty God, and is one of His most efficient agents.
Thanksgiving follows answered prayer just as day succeeds night.
No double-minded man need apply.
It takes the whole man to pray, and prayer affects the entire man.
Prayer thrives in the atmosphere of true devotion.
Humility is an indispensable requisite of true prayer.
Devotion is the particular frame of mind found in one entirely devoted to God.
