Desire, burning desire, is basic to achieving anything beyond the ordinary.

Lambs have little chance to follow the right path if the shepherds go astray.

Daily prayers can help us keep on the path that leads to eternal life. We are very unlikely to stray if we offer a humble, simple prayer at least each morning and evening to express thanks and to seek divine guidance.
