"It is better to let the work go by default than to let the praying go
by neglect. Whatever affects the intensity of our praying affects the
value of our work. "Too busy to pray" is not only the keynote to
backsliding, but it mars even the work done. Nothing is well done
without prayer for the simple reason that it leaves God out of the
account. It is so easy to be seduced by the good to neglect the best,
until both the good and the best perish. How easy to neglect prayer or
abbreviate our praying simply by the plea that we have church work on
our hands. Satan has effectively disarmed us when he can keep us too
busy doing things to stop and pray." E. M. Bounds
