Quotes
“Prayer is the greatest of all forces, because it honours God and brings Him into active aid.”
— E.M. Bounds
"Prayer is an investment. The time you dedicate to prayer isn't lost; it will return dividends far greater than what a few moments spent on a task ever could. If we fail to cultivate this discipline, prayer winds up being our last resort rather than our first response." — Charles Swindoll
