E.M. Bounds - Necessity of Prayer - Chapter 2

Here are a few gems from Rev. E.M. Bound's second chapter of his book 'The Necessity of Prayer.' The second chapter is called 'Prayer & Faith (cont.)'. As always, I'm quoting the parts of the chapter that spoke the loudest to me.

Faith is not believing just anything; it is believing God, resting in Him, trusting His Word.

Faith grows by reading and meditating upon the Word of God. Most, and best of all, faith thrives in an atmosphere of prayer.

The work of the ministry is to change unbelieving sinners into praying and believing saints.

“By grace are ye saved, through faith.” Thus, when we contemplate the great importance of prayer, we find faith standing immediately by its side.
