Here, let it be said, that no two things are more essential to a spirit-filled life than
Bible-reading and secret prayer;
no two things more helpful to growth in grace;
to getting the largest joy out of a Christian life;
toward establishing one in the ways of eternal peace.
The neglect of these all-important duties,
presages leanness of soul,
loss of joy,
absence of peace,
dryness of spirit,
decay in all that pertains to spiritual life.
Neglecting these things paves the way for apostasy, and gives the EvilOne an advantage such as he is not likely to ignore.
Reading God's word regularly, and praying habitually in the secret place of the Most High puts one where he is absolutely safe from the attacks of the enemy of souls, and guarantees him salvation and final victory, through the overcoming power of the LAMB.
~E M Bounds, "the necessity of prayer"
