Prayer
is to the soul what exercise is to the body. A man who is in good spiritual
shape does two things: (1) He consistently eats the nutritious diet of the
Scriptures and (2) he consistently spends time in aerobic kneeling. (It's also
known as prayer.) These two elements must go together. A marathon runner not
only trains efficiently but also eats correctly. Both enable him to have physical
endurance. The same is true in the Christian life... Without a diet of
Scripture and an exercise routine of prayer, you've got nothing. You can't
finish the Christian marathon without them. In fact, you can't even begin.
