ON PRAYER
"The most important thing we can do is grow in our relationship to Christ. If we have not learned to pray in our everyday lives, we will find it difficult to know God's peace and strength through prayer when the hard times come. If we have not learned to trust God's Word when times are easy, we will not trust his Word when we face difficulties. And I am convinced that one of the greatest things we can do is to memorize Scripture. The Scriptures speak to us in those moments when we look to the Lord for sustenance and strength."
     ~Rev. Billy Graham in an interview with Harold Myra, Editor of Christianity Today, July 17, 1981
