You will never grow a close relationship with God by just attending church once a week or even having a daily quiet time. Friendship with God is built by sharing all your life experiences with Him.

The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless works and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.

— Frank Laubach

God does nothing but by prayer, and everything with it.
— John Wesley

The disquieting thing is not simply that we skimp and begrudge the duty of prayer. The really disquieting thing is that it should have to be numbered among the duties at all. For we believe that we were created “to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.” And if the few, the very few, minutes we now spend on intercourse with God are a burden to us rather than a delight, what then? If we were perfected, prayer would not be a duty, it would be a delight.
— C.S. Lewis

Heaven

Where sin and death abound,
How beautiful beyond compare
Will paradise be found.

The biggest fallacy is in the people’s perception of Christianity and their belief that you can’t be a Christian and still be competitive.

A sinning man will stop praying. A praying man will stop sinning.
