Prayer prepares us for praise.
“Prayer is the breathing in of the air of heaven, and praise is the breathing of it out again” (MTP 44:577).
“The prayers of the church measure its prosperity” (MTP 28:547).
“I believe that God’s church might have inconceivable blessings if she were but ready now to pray” (MTP 28:551).
“Praise should always follow answered prayer, as the mist of Earth’s gratitude rises when the sun of Heaven’s love warms the ground” (MTP 9:247).
