For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
2nd Timothy 1vs 7

Faith and hope, patience and all the strong, beautiful, vital forces of piety are withered and dead in a prayerless life. The life of the individual believer, his personal salvation, and personal Christian graces have their being, bloom, and fruitage in prayer.
