People who succeed often make it a habit to pray. In this world, success comes with a price. We can hardly get anything if we do not force ourselves to get it because the system is the world is being designed in such a way that it brings distractions from all corners of life so as to make us lose focus is the things that are important.
Mind you, the essence of prayer is far beyond material achievement. That is just about the surface. It is more like a lifestyle. It is a habit that we cultivate until it naturally becomes a part of us.
Mark 1:35 - And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
Even Jesus our Lord and savior made it a habit to pray. If Jesus in all His supremacy prayed who we are to say we don't need prayers? We actually need prayers, probably a lot more than we even think.
