Furnish thyself with arguments from the promises to enforce thy prayers, and make them prevalent with God. The promises are the ground of faith, and faith, when strengthened, will make thee fervent, and such fervency ever speeds and returns with victory out of the field of prayer. The mightier any is in the Word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.

William Gurnall

Pray often rather than very long at a time. It is hard to be very long in prayer, and not slacken in our affections.

William Gurnall

The Christian in prayer comes up close to God, with a humble boldness of faith, and takes hold of him, wrestles with him; yea, will not let him go without a blessing... They are only a few noble-spirited souls, who dare take heaven by force, that are fit for this calling.

William Gurnall

Prayer is nothing but the promise reversed, or God's Word formed into an argument, and retorted by faith upon God again.
