"Be my strong refuge, to which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress." (Psalm 71:3)

"Prayer is not a stratagem for occasional use, a refuge to resort to now and then. It is rather like an established residence for the innermost self. All things have a home; the bird has a nest, the fox has a hole, the bee has a hive. A soul without prayer is a soul without a home. Weary, sobbing, the soul, after roaming through a world festered with aimlessness, falsehoods, and absurdities, seeks a moment in which to gather up its scattered life, in which to divest itself of enforced pretensions and camouflage, in which to simplify complexities, in which to call for help without being a coward. Such a home is prayer." (By Abraham Joshua Heschel in Moral Grandeur and Spiritual Audacity in Christianity Today, Vol. 42, No. 5)

Through prayer we can continually resort to a place of strong refuge.
