We do more of everything else than of praying.

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

Ask of me is the one condition God puts in the very advance and triumph of His cause.

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

The prayers of God’s saints are the capital stock in heaven by which Christ carries on His great work upon earth.

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

Prayers outlive the lives of those who uttered them; outlive a generation, outlive an age, outlive a world.

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

God shapes the world by prayer.

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

Unction is not the gift of genius. It is not found in the hall of learning. No eloquence can woo it. It is the gift of God.

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

Unction is the sweetest exhalation of the Holy Spirit.

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

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

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

They are not leaders because of brilliancy…but because, by the power of prayer, they could command the power of God.

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

The word of God is the food by which prayer is nourished and made strong.

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not anoint plans, but men, men of prayer.

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

Light praying will make light preaching. Prayer makes preaching strong.

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men.

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

Without prayerful preparation the hearer cannot hear to profit from the sermon.

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

The preachers who are the mightiest in their closets with God are the mightiest in their pulpits with men.

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

Little acquaintance with God, and strangeness and coldness to Him, make prayer a rare and feeble thing.

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

Those who know God the best are the richest and most powerful in prayer.

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

Prayer puts the preacher's heart into the preacher's sermon; prayer puts the preacher's sermon into the preacher's heart.

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

Prayer is the language of a man burdened with a sense of need.

[EM Bounds @EMBounds]

Praying makes the preacher a heart preacher.
