The Need for a Prayerful Life

By Archdeacon Farrar

LET the man or the woman live a prayerless life, and all the light and the fire and the glow, all the wisdom and generosity and love, will die away from it, because these are the result of spiritual grace from above; and covered with the dead, white embers of its own selfishness and pride, it too will be cold and dead and hard—a useless thing, half consumed with impenitence and sin.
