“For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God.”– Saint Teresa of Avila Related Quotes “Pray for peace.”— Lailah Gifty Akita “We are feeble, weak and impoverished because of our failure to pray. God is restrained in doing because we are restrained by reason of our non-praying. All failures in securing heaven are traceable to lack of prayer or misdirected petition.”— Edward McKendree Bounds “Just as the expansion and contraction of our lungs in necessary for the continuance of our physical life, so regular fellowship with God in prayer is essential to our spiritual well-being. Without prayer our spiritual lives will shrivel up and return to an infantile state.”— Paul Tautges
