Quote

The law of prayer is the law of harvest: sow sparingly in prayer, reap sparingly sow bountifully in prayer, reap bountifully. The trouble is we are trying to get from our efforts what we never put into them.

Books on prayer are good, but not good enough. As books on cooking are good but hopeless unless there is food to work on, so with prayer. One can read a library of prayer books and not be one whit more powerful in prayer. We must learn to pray, and we must pray to learn to pray.
