Prayer - A Simple Necessity
Personal prayer, it seems to me, is one of the simplest necessities of life, as basic to the individual as sunshine, food and water—and at times of course, more so. By prayer I believe we mean an effort to get in touch with the Infinite. We know that our prayers are imperfect. Of course they are. We are imperfect human beings. A thousand experiences have convinced me beyond room of doubt that prayer multiplies the strength of the individual and brings within the scope of his capabilities almost any conceivable objective.

Eisenhower was one of my favorite Presidents. I had to write a paper in the 6th grade, and I chose him and Mamie as my subject. Back then, though, I wasn't thinking 'Christian'. In fact, I'd never seen this prayer until I read it here tonight.
