"Prayer is another way of telling God that we have all confidence in Him but no confidence in our own native powers.
Neglect of prayer is an effrontery to God, for by it we are saying that we have confidence in the flesh and can operate the spiritual life on a do-it-yourself basis.
Strong men (self-strong) neglect prayer, or sometimes slight or ignore it, and therefore show their self-esteem and their near-independence of divine help.
But weak men cry to God, because God’s strength is guaranteed to be made perfect in their weakness."
Leonard Ravenhill (1907-1994)
