Wherefore, let thy voice Rise like a fountain for me night and day. Bound by gold chains about the feet of God. The influence of prayer on the human mind and body is as demonstrable as that of the secreting glands.
Prayer is a force as real as terrestrial gravity.
It supplies us with a flow of sustaining power in our daily lives. It is the secret of spiritual power. No other means of grace can be substituted, and the health of the soul be preserved. Prayer brings the heart into immediate contact with the well-spring of life, and strengthens the sinew of the religious experience. Neglect the exercise of prayer or engage in prayer spasmodically now and then, as seems convenient, and you lose your hold on God.
