Around us is a world lost in sin,
above us is a God willing and able
to save it; it is ours to build the bridge
that links heaven and earth, and prayer
is the mighty instrument that does the work.
"Pray, brethren, pray."
E.M. Bounds, Purpose in Prayer
I would contend that Jesus already built the bridge; all we need to do is show others that bridge - how simple is that? Without prayer, however, it becomes a monumental task.
