Prayer Quotes
-
Pray a little each day in a childlike way for the Spirit of prayer. If you feel that you know, as yet, very little concerning the deep things of prayer and what prayer really is, then pray for the Spirit of prayer. There is nothing He would rather do than unveil to you the grace of prayer.

And like small tributaries joining together to form a mighty river, their force and power grows.

John Chrysostom
