Importance of Prayer

"We cannot know what prayer is for until we know that life is war. That’s not all it is, but it is always that. Our weakness in prayer is owing largely to not knowing this very proof. Prayer is primarily a war time walkie talkie for the mission of the church as it advances against the power of the darkness and unbelief. It’s not surprising that prayer malfunctions when we use it as a private intercom to call up for more comforts in the den.” John Piper
