Prayer is given to you, placed within your heart by the Holy Spirit, Who intercedes with sighs too deep for words (Romans 8.26)  Bow grace itself, God Himself, placed prayer within your soul, in the mouth of your soul.

We have one sword, the Prayer of Jesus.  It is said, strike the unseen enemies with this sword, for there is no more powerful weapon, either in Heaven or on earth.
