A Note on Prayer
Prayer is Absolutely Necessary For The Just And Holy. However good and virtuous a man may be, he stands in constant need of divine grace to observe the commandments of God, to resist and overcome the temptations of the devil, the allurements of the world and the violence of his own passions, to perform the good works and duties of his state, and especially to persevere in the grace and friendship of God. But to be able to do all this, he must pray frequently and earnestly, otherwise he will not persevere, for the invariable rule is, "no prayer; no special grace, no perseverance, nor salvation."
He who will not pray God for a necessary grace, does not really desire it; his lack of desire shows that he does not care for it, that he really does not want it.
(The above information on prayer was found in Prayer, It's Necessity, It's Power, It's conditions - 1920)
