Top 10 Steps to Connecting in Prayer

Prayer is not a means to an end. In so many ways, it is the end itself. -- Beth Moore

Prayer lays hold of God's plan and becomes the link between His will and its accomplishment on earth. Amazing things happen, and we are given the privilege of being the channels of the Holy Spirit's prayer. -- Elizabeth Elliot

Work, work, from morning until late at night. In fact, I have so much to do that I shall have to spend the first three hours in prayer. -- Martin Luther
