Some nice quotes on prayer
When a Christian shuns fellowship with other Christians, the devil smiles. When he stops studying the Bible, the devil laughs. When he stops praying, the devil shouts for joy.
~Corrie Ten Boom

Men may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our persons; but they are helpless against our prayers. -
