Prayer time is a point during each day when we meet the Lord in a quiet place to pray to God. To pray to God is to talk to Him, to worship and thank Him.

Prayer is not a duty to do but a privilege. We don’t have to fall in line coming to God, nor must we wait for just the right opportunity. God is always eager and willing

Bounds’ book highlights the significance of prayer. What I learned is that prayer is of great value, it’s an “all-impregnating force” in the life of the Christian’s preacher. It has gracious benefits that impact on our sermon. We put God in it by prayer. Sad to say, there are preachers today in the Church who make excuses for not putting much time on prayer.
