To be a Christian is to Pray | Karl Barth

Here’s Barth on the importance of prayer (in Prayer):

It is not possible to say, “I shall pray,” or, “I shall not pray,” as if it were an act according to our own good pleasure. To be a Christian and to pray are one and the same thing; it is a matter that cannot be left to our caprice. It is a need, a kind of breathing necessary to life.
