Prayer wonderfully clears the vision; steadies the nerves, defines duty; stiffens the purpose; sweetens and strengthens the spirit.
From Psalm 91:14-16: “Those who love Me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know My name. When they call to Me, I will answer them; I will be with them in trouble; I will rescue them and honor them. With long life I will satisfy them and show them My salvation.”
Samuel Dickey (S. D.) Gordon (1859-1936) was an American Christian author and evangelist.
