“What is the reason that some believers are so much brighter and holier than others? I believe the difference, in nineteen cases out of twenty, arises from different habits about private prayer. I believe that those who are not eminently holy pray little, and those who are eminently holy pray much.”
~ J.C. Ryle
A Call to Prayer, [Carlisle, PA: Banner of Truth, 2002], 15.
Amen! Very true. A great book that convicted me about prayer is Thomas Brooks’ book on prayer called: “The Secret Key to Heaven-The Vital Importance of Prayer” from Banner of Truth. Every Christian should read that book. http://www.monergismbooks.com/The-Secret-Key-to-Heaven-The-Vital-Importance-of-Private-Prayer-p-16290.html
