I wish I could find the quote but someone once said something to the effect that a man who does not pray to God everyday is no better than a beast. In Ecclesiastes 3:17-18 we find:
“God will judge the righteous and the wicked, since there is a time for every activity and every deed.” I said to myself, “As for the sons of men, God tests them so that they may see for themselves that they are but beasts.”
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1Thessalonians 5:16-18
