Prayer is as vast as God because He is behind it. Prayer is as mighty as God because He has committed to answer it. If God doesn't illuminate us in the prayer closet, we walk in darkness. At the judgement seat of Christ the most embarrassing thing a believer faces will be the smallness of his praying...
The potency of prayer hath subdued the strength of fire; it hath bridled the rage of lions, hushed anarchy to rest, extinguished wars, appeased the elements, expelled demons, burst the chains of death, expanded the gates of heaven, assuaged demons, repelled frauds, rescued cities from destruction, stayed the sun in it's course and arrested the progress of the thunderbolt. Prayer is an all-sufficient panoply, a treasure undiminished, a mine which is never exhausted, a sky unobscured by clouds, a heaven unruffled by storm. It is the root, the fountain, the mother of a thousand blessings. -from Why Revival Tarries by Leonard Ravenhill
