New, updated and annotated edition.

And all things, whatever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

- Matthew 21: 22Persistent prayer is a mighty movement of the soul toward God, and it stirs the deepest forces of the soul toward the throne of heavenly grace.

It is the ability to hold on, press on, and wait.

Restless desire, restful patience, and strength of grasp are all embraced in it.

Prayer is not an incident or a performance but a passion of soul.

It is not a want or half-needed desire but a sheer necessity.
