Almighty Quote by Edward McKendree Bounds
“Men of prayer, before anything else, are indispensable to the furtherance of the kingdom of God on earth. No other sort will fit in the scheme or do the deed. Men, great and influential in other things but small in prayer, cannot do the work Almighty God has set out for His Church to do in this, His world.”

![“The best way to get quiet, other than the combination of extensive therapy, Prozac, and a lobotomy, is first to notice that the station is on. KFKD [K-Fucked] is on every single morning when I sit down at my desk. So I sit for a moment and then say a small prayer--please help me get out of the way…” quote by Anne Lamott](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/bbf/anne-lamott-188_mental-health_the-best-way-to-get-quiet-other-than-the_539826.jpg)
