Bounds: connected

Meditation:
The LORD is far from the wicked but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
—Proverbs 15:29 (NIV)

Quotation:
Prayer and a holy life are one. They mutually act and react. Neither can survive alone... We are in danger of substituting churchly work and a ceaseless round of showy activities for prayer and holy living. A holy life does not live in the closet, but it cannot live without the closet. If, by any chance, a prayer chamber should be established without a holy life, it would be a chamber without the presence of God in it.
... E. M. Bounds (1835-1913), Purpose in Prayer, New York: Fleming H. Revell Company, 1920, p. 49 (see the book)

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, visit me at prayer.
