“The battle for our lives, and the lives and souls of our children, our husbands, our friends, our families, our neighbors, and our nation is waged on our knees. When we don't pray, it's like sitting on the sidelines watching those we love and care about scrambling through a war zone, getting shot at from every angle.

If we also declare the Wordog God in our prayers, then we wield a powerful weapon against which no enemy can prevail.”
