Faith is the telegraphic wire which links earth and heaven—on which God’s
messages of love fly so fast, that before we call He answers, and while we are yet
speaking He hears us.

Peninnah had many children, but they came as common blessings unsought in
prayer: Hannah’s one heaven-given child was dearer far, because he was the fruit of
earnest pleadings.

Our God not only hears prayer but also loves to hear it.

Indeed, brethren and sisters in Christ, in one sense, all your prayers—that is, your
prayers that ought to be answered,—are already answered; for, whatsoever there
may be that you may rightly ask of God, you really have it, since, in giving us Christ,
he has already given us all things.
