#prayer

It is not only our duty to pray for others, but also to desire the prayers of others for ourselves. ↗

Never was a faithful prayer lost. Some prayers have a longer voyage than others, but then they return with their richer lading at last, so that the praying soul is a gainer by waiting for an answer. ↗
