The Efficacy of Silent Prayer

The efficacy of silent prayer is illustrated by Hannah when she prayed at the tabernacle gate for a son. There are many moments when audible prayer is hardly possible, yet prayer at that time is very necessary because of the presence of danger or temptation. He who has formed this habit of silently communing with God can easily ask his assistance in the midst of the busy throng, on the crowded street, in the car, or wherever he may be. If we have accustomed ourselves to pray under all circumstances our liability to going astray is reduced to the minimum.
