Prayer's value is not that it makes challenges go away,
but that it changes my perception and experience within them.
~ Life at First Sight: Finding the Divine in the Details

Fight your battles through prayer,
And win your battles through faith.

Rewards await you if you stay steadfast in your faith.

The human spirit will not invest itself in a compromise.

In college I lost the capacity for heartfelt, extemporized prayer. I would have considered it gauche to pray spontaneously aloud with other college sophomores. I had also left behind my love the church's Scriptures, prayers, and especially its hymns, but I always knew they would be there if I went back to find them.

Receptive prayer is one of the most powerful weapons against spiritual u-turns.
