Prayer, Faith, and Practical Usefulness

It is not until the flower is fallen off that the fruit begins to ripen. So in life it is when the romance is past that the practical usefulness begins.
As THE very act fits a man for the exercise of any bodily labor, so the best preparation unto prayer is, the very duty itself.
Though prayer be the key that opens God's treasures, yet faith is the hand that turns the key, without which it will do no good.
God's promises to us must be the ground of our prayers to him. When God makes a promise, we must make a prayer.
