From The Reality of Prayer, by E.M. Bounds
The space occupied by prayer in the Sermon on the Mount bespeaks its estimate by Christ and the importance it holds in His system.
Prayer fills man’s emptiness with God’s fullness.
Non-praying is lawlessness, discord, anarchy.
Nothing is more conspicuous in the life of our Lord than prayer.
He knows not God who knows not how to pray.
Prayer is a solemn service due to God, an adoration, a worship, an approach to God for some request.
Prayer is the appointed condition of getting God’s aid.
Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath, the Christian’s native air.
Prayer is God’s enabling act for man, living and life-giving, joy and joy-giving.
