“To say prayers in a decent, delicate way is not heavy work. But to pray really, to pray till hell feels the ponderous stroke, to pray till the iron gates of difficulty are opened, till the mountains of obstacles are removed, till the mists are exhaled and the clouds are lifted, and the sunshine of cloudless day brightens—this is hard work, but it is God’s work and man’s best labor.” E.M. Bounds

It’s like Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me”, in Genesis 32: 26. Oh, let’s not let Him go until all Heaven and Earth is moved in response to our prayers! What a good word, Lisa! Thank you!
Amen, Donna! Praying with you!!!
Very good quote to take to heart.
Renee, isn’t that an awesome quote! Man, that breathes Holy fire into my prayer life.
