no purity of diction,
no width of mental outlook,
no flowers of eloquence,
no grace of person can atone for lack of fire.
Prayer ascends by fire.
Flame gives prayer access as well as wings,
acceptance as well as energy.
There is no incense without fire;
no prayer without flame."
Author: E.M. Bounds

"If thou hadst simplicity and purity,
thou wouldst be able to comprehend
all things without error,
and behold them without danger.
The pure heart safely pervades
not only heaven, but hell."
Author: Thomas a Kempis

"When we pray for the Spirit's help ...
we will simply fall down at the Lord's
feet in our weakness.
There we will find the victory
and power that comes
from His love."

"Many a humble soul will be amazed
to find that the seed it sowed in weakness,
in the dust of daily life,
has blossomed into immortal flowers
under the eye of the Lord."
