The Central Purpose of Prayer is to Prepare for Christ a Glorious Church that is Conformed to Him.

Prayer is a kind of Travail in Spiritual Birth, which is an Entering Into Fellowship with the Sufferings of Christ, with the Heart of the Father, and with the Groanings of the Holy Spirit – until the Day of Glory.

Prayer is what we need to be Taught.

Though in its beginnings Prayer is So Simple that even a small child can Pray, it is at the same time the Highest and Holiest Work to which anyone Can Rise.

It is Fellowship with the Unseen and Most Holy One.

The Powers of the Eternal World have been Placed at its Disposal.

It is the Channel of All Blessings and the Secret of Power and Life.

Through Prayer, God has given to everyone the right to Take Hold of Him and His Strength.

It is On Prayer that Promises Wait for their Fulfillment, the Kingdom for its Coming, and the Glory of God for its Full Revelation.

Sometimes the devil will attack our appointed time of Prayer.

Many have experienced this.

How subtle is the enemy.

If he cannot succeed in having our time of Prayer fully occupied with other things, he will see to it that we do not have Real Prayer at that time.

Frequently we are able to maintain the time of Prayer, but we lack the Life of Prayer.
