"Prayer will singularly assist you in the delivery of your sermon; in fact, nothing can so gloriously fit you to preach as descending fresh from the mount of communion with God to speak with men." C.H. Spurgeon
"Great talents you may never have, but you will do well enough without them if you abound in intercession." C.H. Spurgeon
"The minister who does not earnestly pray over his work must surely be a vain and conceited man." C.H. Spurgeon
"Good preaching is born of good praying." John Piper
"We can preach competently, earnestly, faithfully, intelligently, interestingly, missionally, passionately, humorously, and even brilliantly. But we fail when we do no preach prayerfully." Phillip Jensen and Paul Grimmond
