“Nothing will be impossible for you.” [Mt 17:20]
Prayer is not an indifferent, small thing. It is not a sweet little privilege. It is a great prerogative, far-reaching in its effects. Failure to pray entails great loss. Prayer is not just an episode of the Christian life.
Life is a preparation for and the result of prayer. In its condition, prayer is the sum of religion. Prayer is not only the language of spiritual life, but prayer also makes its very essence and forms its innermost, real character.
God, thank You for granting us the great privilege of prayer that has far-reaching effects. Amen. [The Power of Prayer]
