~~ "Prayer is self-discipline. The effort to realize the presence and power
of God stretches the sinews of the soul and hardens its muscles. To pray is to
grow in grace. To tarry in the presence
of the King leads to new loyalty and devotion on the part of the faithful
subjects. Christian character grows in
the secret-place of prayer. - Samuel M.
Zwemer
~~ "At Waterloo, the English troops
obeying orders fell on their faces for a time and let the hot fire of the
French artillery pass over them. Then they sprang to their feet and rushed to
the thickest of the fight and beat back their foes. The Lord wants His people flat on their
faces, before they attempt to meet the great crises of li - A.T. Pierson
~~ "Job's friends chose the right time to visit him, but
took not the right course of improving their visit; had they spent the time in
praying for him which they did in hot disputes with him, they would have
profited him, and pleased God more." … William Gurnall
