“There is a great need in this dayfor Christians in the business world to infuse their mundane affairs with the spirit of prayer. There is a great army of successful businesspeople in Christ’s church, and it is high time they attend to this matter. We need to put God into business. In other words, we need to put the realization and restraint of His presence and His fear into all the secularities of life .” EM Bounds
“In learning to pray, no laboratory is needed but a room; no apparatusbut ourselves. The living God is the field of force into which we enter in prayer, and the only really fatal failure is to stop praying and not to begin again.” (Douglas V. Steere)
