Communication Quote by Edith Schaeffer
![“[W]e need to remind ourselves that although prayer is a very personal and private communication with God, pouring out our repentance and sorrow for sin, it is also to be a constant connection with God, an unbroken communication, a means of receiving assurance as to how to go on in this next hour…” quote by Edith Schaeffer](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/6d7/edith-schaeffer-16669_communication_w-e-need-to-remind-ourselves-that-althou_2620652.jpg)
““[W]e need to remind ourselves that although prayer is a very personal and private communication with God, pouring out our repentance and sorrow for sin, it is also to be a constant connection with God, an unbroken communication, a means of receiving assurance as to how to go on in this next hour in our work, and our means of receiving guidance. Prayer is also to be our means of receiving sufficient grace and strength to do what we are being guided to do. This reality is to be handed to the next generation, not to end when we die.””
