Substituting Prayer for Obedience

"Have you noticed how much praying for revival has been going on of late - and how little revival has resulted? I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience." A.W Tozer

That is a great quote. I think prayer is incredibly important but if we are not obeying what God has told us to do we are not going to have the relationship and revival that we hope for.
