About this Quote

This quote by Jonathan Edwards is a powerful pointer of the importance of prayer in our lives. Prayer is a method of revealing our faith and connecting with God. It is a way of expressing our deepest ideas and feelings to God, and of requesting for His assistance and aid. Just as breathing is necessary for life, prayer is essential for our spiritual life. Prayer is a way of expressing our trust in God and our dependence on Him. It is a way of expressing our thankfulness for His true blessings and our need for His assistance. Prayer is a method of deepening our relationship with God and growing in our faith. It is a method of looking for God's will and guidance in our lives. Prayer is an essential part of our spiritual life, and it is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life.
