Desire Quote by Leslie Ludy
“If you don't pray often, you won't gain a love for praying. Prayer is work, and therefore it is not very appealing to our natural sensibilities.

The more you pray, the more you will acquire the desire for prayer, the energy for prayer, and the sense of purpose in prayer.”
