“And it is wonderful how a matter that looked very dark will in prayer become crystal clear by the help of God’s Spirit. 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 doorbell, and then running away as fast as he can go.” (Taken from E.M. Bounds on Prayer).
“One who is clumsy in the trade of praying will also mishandle the trade of salvation” (E.M. Bounds).
