Why Pray?

History is silent about revivals that did not begin with prayer.
-Edwin Orr

You can do more than pray AFTER you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray UNTIL you have prayed. Prayer is striking the winning blow. Service is gathering up the results.
-Dutch Sheets

To have God speak to the heart is a majestic experience, an experience that people may miss if they monopolize the conversation and never pause to hear God's responses.
-Charles Stanley
