2 Chronicles 7:14 If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life of the saint. Beware of anything that stops the offering up of prayer. Pray without ceasing – maintain the childlike habit of offering up prayer in your heart to God all the time. – My Utmost for His Highest (The Golden Book of Oswald Chambers)
