"Prayer is no fitful, short-lived thing. It is……" — Edward McKendree Bounds
"Prayer is no fitful, short-lived thing. It is no voice crying unheard and unheeded in the silence. It is a voice which goes into God's ear, and it lives as long as God's ear is open to holy pleas, as long as God's heart is alive to holy things."
