I have said it, I've written it, I've taught it, Start with God, Stay With God. Prayer is not an option in today's society if you you wish to thrive in all parts of life. Prayer is the differnce between what you can do and what God can do. If we're honest that's a pretty huge difference. You need to remain connected to the source of life, otherwise you'll just be existing, and that is no fun at all.
