Leonard Ravenhill on Prayer

Prayer is battle. Could it be that in our churches the right slogan over the door of most of our prayer rooms would be "We Wrestle *Not*"? I often see listed in churches names of athletes who will play ball of some kind, but I would like to see these "Muscle men" operating where strength really counts - that is, in the place of prayer. Prayer taxes even the physical frame; prayer wears on the nerves; prayer involves the whole man. Prayer *must* have priority. Prayer *must* be our bold to lock up the night, our key to open the day. Prayer is power. Prayer is wealth. Prayer is health of the soul. ~Leonard Ravenhill, "We Wrestle Not"
