"There is no power like that of prevailing prayer, of Abraham pleading for Sodom, Jacob wrestling in the stillness of the night, Moses standing in the breach, Hannah intoxicated with sorrow, David heartbroken with remorse and grief, Jesus in sweat of blood. Add to this list from the records of the church your personal observation and experience, and always there is the cost of passion unto blood. Such prayer prevails. It turns ordinary mortals
into men of power. It brings power. It brings fire. It brings rain. It brings life. It brings God."
- Samuel Chadwick
"Unfortunately, in many churches today, I have discovered that, if you were to liken prayer to rain, instead of a downpour you would be more likely to discover a drought."
- Colin Gordon-Farleigh
