The Great People of Earth

The great people of earth are the people who pray. I do not mean those who talk about prayer; nor those who say they believe in prayer; nor yet those who can explain about prayer; but I mean those people who take time to pray.
-- S.D. Gordon

Our Highest Glory

We have far too little conception of the place that intercession, as distinguished from prayer for ourselves, ought to have in the Church and the Christian life. In intercession our King upon the throne finds His highest glory. In it we shall find our highest glory too. Through it He continues His saving work and can do nothing without it. Through it alone we can do our work, and nothing avails without it.
-- Andrew Murray

Before a Great Throne

Do not bring before God small petitions and narrow desires and say, "Lord, do according to these." Ask for great things, for you are before a great throne.

-- Charles Spurgeon
