The following was written by A. T. Pierson as compiled by R. A. Torrey in one of the volumes of The Fundamentals:
"Prayer not only puts us in touch with God, and gives knowledge of Him and His ways, but it imparts to us His power. Things which are impossible with man are possible with God, and with a man in whom God is.
"Prayer is the secret of imparted power from God, and nothing else can take its place. Absolute weakness follows the neglect of secret communion with God--and the weakness is the more deplorable, because it is often unconscious and unsuspected, especially when one has never yet known what true power is.
"We see men of prayer quietly achieving results of the most surprising character. They have the calm of God, no hurry, or worry, or flurry; no anxiety, or care, no excitement or hustle or bustle. They do great things for God, yet they are little in their own eyes; they carry great loads, and yet are not weary nor faint; they face great crises, and yet are not troubled."
