John Piper (via solideogloriaa)Praying is worm-work. You can’t see worms doing their work. But without them you couldn’t plow the field. The soil would be as hard as concrete. And if you can’t plow, you can’t plant. If you can’t plant, no seed can grow. There will be no fruit and no harvest.
We are prayer worms. In prayer, we prepare the ground for the seed of the word.
Personally, I long to be supported in prayer!……If the great apostle Paul said, “Brothers, pray for us that the word of the Lord may speed on in triumph,” imagine what help I need! Paul said that we should do battle with Satan by using the sword of the Spirit, the word of God (Ephesians 6:17). But then he added, “Keep alert … making supplication for all the saints, and also for me that utterance may be given me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel” (6:19).
The Word depends on Prayer for its power.
