Talking to men for God is a great thing, but talking to God for men is greater still.

Edward M. Bounds (Author, 1835 – 1913)

All God’s plans have the mark of the cross on them, and all His plans have death to self in them.

Edward M. Bounds (Author, 1835 – 1913)

If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day.

Edward M. Bounds (Author, 1835 – 1913)

He who is too busy to pray will be too busy to live a holy life. Satan had rather we let the grass grow on the path to our prayer chamber than anything else.

Edward M. Bounds (Author, 1835 – 1913)

Prayer is our most formidable weapon, the thing which makes all else we do efficient.

Edward M. Bounds (Author, 1835 – 1913)

I think Christians fail so often to get answers to their prayers because they do not wait long enough on God. They just drop down and say a few words, and then jump up and forget it and expect God to answer them. Such praying always reminds me of the small boy ringing his neighbor’s door-bell, and then running away as fast as he can go.

Edward M. Bounds (Author, 1835 – 1913)

Prayer honors God, acknowledges His being, exalts His power, adores His providence, secures His aid.

Edward M. Bounds (Author, 1835 – 1913)

Only God can move mountains, but faith and prayer can move God.

Edward M. Bounds (Author, 1835 – 1913)

We can never expect to grow in the likeness of our Lord unless we follow His example and give more time to communion with the Father. A revival of real praying would produce a spiritual revolution.

Edward M. Bounds (Author, 1835 – 1913)

Prayer is God’s plan to supply man’s great and continuous need with God’s great and continuous abundance.
