“Our prayers may make little impact to those who hear them in this world, but when they reach heaven, they are sent back as ‘reversed thunder.’ The power of prayer is truly immense!” – Derek Thomas
“Our great High Priest is here presented as standing at the golden altar which is before the throne of God, having in His hand a golden censer full of incense, the fragrance of which would give acceptance to the prayers of the saints for His sake.” – Charles Spurgeon
