The Prayer Life [Annotated, Updated]: Persevering in Prayer

by Andrew Murray

If a friend comes to visit them, they have time, they make time – even at the cost of sacrifice, for the sake of enjoying conversation with the friend. Yes, they have time for everything that really interests them, but they have no time for fellowship with God and to delight themselves in Him! They find time for someone who can be of service to them; but day after day, month after month passes, and they find no time to spend even one hour with God.
