Prayers never end.

In prayer we have the greatest privilege of God's Presence and interacting with God with His purpose than any other activity in our lives. 

From E. M. Bounds in his book, the Purpose of Prayer, we learn how this is so important. In the first chapter, Bounds makes it clear that our prayers never end. It has been pointed out by many that prayers add up. So the longer we prayer, more power is stored up for an answer that will rock the world. Here are excerpts from chapter 1. 

"The more praying there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces against evil everywhere. Prayer, in one phase of its operation, is a disinfectant and a preventive. It purifies the air; it destroys the contagion of evil. Prayer is no fitful, short-lived thing. It is no voice crying unheard and unheeded in the silence.

"It is a voice which goes into God’s ear, and it lives as long as God’s ear is open to holy pleas, as long as God’s heart is alive to holy things.

"God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. The lips that uttered them may be closed in death, the heart that felt them may have ceased to beat, but the prayers live before God, and God’s heart is set on them and prayers outlive the lives of those who uttered them; outlive a generation, outlive an age, outlive a world.
