We may have failed to give up bad habits or control our temper. We might have missed out on that new job or flubbed our entrance exams. As bad as these may seem at the time, they aren’t as bad as giving up prayer.

Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with. (James 5:16a, MSG)
“The chief failure of prayer is its cessation.” – P.T. Forsyth
Prayer – Lord, it’s me, back again, finally. Help! Amen
