Let me close with this powerful quote from Charles Haddon Spurgeon:
“All of Hell is vanquished when the believer bows his knee in prayer. Beloved brethren, Let us pray. We can not all argue, but we can all pray. We can not all be leaders, but we can all be pleaders. We can not all be mighty in rhetoric, but we can all be prevalent in prayer. I would rather have you eloquent be for God than eloquent before men. Prayer brings us into communion with the Eternal, Omnipotent, and Infinite, hence prayer is our chief resort … Make sure you are close to God and you can be sure God is close to you.”
