He trembles when we pray


Satan dreads nothing but prayer. His one concern is to keep the saints from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, he mocks our wisdom, but he trembles when we pray. - Samuel Chadwick

Praying in the name of Jesus makes Satan flee,
this should bring us great comfort and admiration at His power!
So why do we often slip into periods and even prolonged periods
of prayerlessness? I think a lot of times we forget that there
is a very real spiritual battle going on. In a Beth Moore Bible study
I remember she said something along the lines of,
"When we sit at the feet of Jesus and commune with Him, 
the devil is forced to watch while our cup overflows." 
So, lets quite our souls and earnestly pray to our Creator, our Strong Tower,
our Defender, our Provider .. our Savior {+more}. Beg for our cup
to overflow.
