Beliefs Quote by Ritu Ghatourey
“Prayer does not require a deity or Religion to be a valid form of hope. Prayer is a personal spiritual blessing towards another human being. Spirituality is Universal and cannot be owned, controlled or Monopolised by anyone, Religious or otherwise. The human emotion towards another in need of hope is not a commodity.”

![“[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)
