Prayer Quote by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
““there is no prayer half as genuine as that which comes up from the depths of the soul as the result of deep trials and afflictions. They bring us to God and we are happier, because living close to God is the way to be happy. When troubles are abundant, they drive us to God, and then comforts are abundant””
