"No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. The pulpit can be a shop window to display one's talents; the prayer closet allows no showing off.
Poverty-stricken as the church is today in many things, she is most stricken here in the place of prayer. We have many organisers, but few agonisers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere." -Leonard Ravenhill, Why Revival Tarries
Food for thought. Well, bottomline is we need to pray!
Just got back from sri lanka today. Many things on my mind, what I've been fearing may be coming true.. Inside me is a struggle between wanting to find out more and living on the notion that ignorance is bliss. Pray.. God may just turn this whole situation around and bring salvation eventually. That's the hope i'm living on for now.
