Prayer needs neither learning, wisdom or book knowledge to begin it. It needs nothing but heart and will.

J. C. Ryle

Faith is to the soul what life is to the body. Prayer is to faith what breath is to the body. How a person can live and not breathe is past my comprehension, and how a person can believe and not pray is past my comprehension too.
