“It is a great tragedy when those who are afflicted with adversity or a source of hopelessness turn their backs on prayer. To their peril, they ignore that spiritual lifeline just at the time when their attention to it most needs to be intensified.

They give up the prospect of gaining the very hope and comfort for which their hearts yearn.” NeedsGivingHeartInspirationSpiritualTurnsVoicePrayerAttentionLordCuttingSourceComfortGiving UpTragedyAdversityHearingRevelationsSpiritual LifeHopelessnessPerilGreat TragedyLifelines Author:David S.
