Recently, I have been going through the complete works of E.M. Bounds on prayer. In his book, The Possibilities of Prayer, he makes this challenge:
"More praying must be done and better praying if the church shall be able to perform the difficult, delicate, and responsible task given to it by her Lord and master. Defeat awaits a nonpraying church. Success is sure to follow a church given to much prayer. The supernatural element in the church, without which it must fail, comes only through praying. More time, in this busy bustling age, must be given to prayer by a God-called church. More thought must be given to prayer in this thoughtless, silly age of superficial religion. More heart and soul must be in the praying that is done if the church would go forth in the strength of her Lord and perform the wonders which is her heritage by divine promise."
If he saw this to be true in the mid 1800's, how much more could be it said today? Bottom line - you can never pray enough!
