Prayer and Study

We are called to the ministry of the word and prayer, because without prayer the God of our studies will be the unfrightening and uninspiring God of insipid academic gamesmanship. (Piper, John. "The Supremacy of God in Preaching." Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books. 2004. p63)

By implication, if we study on our knees, we will learn that the God of the Bible is one before whom we ought to tremble, and whom we ought to worship with joy.
