The Purpose of Prayer


Listen Later

I have a few key things I have been praying for lately. Today, I'm talking about prayer and what I have learned so far.

Quote mentioned in today's episode:

"A desire for God which cannot break the chains of sleep is a weak thing and will do but little good for God after it has indulged itself fully... it is not simply the getting up that puts men to the front and makes them captain generals in God's hosts, but it is the ardent desire which stirs and breaks all self-indulgent chains."
