Turn to the Lord in prayer

When you find yourself amidst a wicked and perverse people,
where shall you turn, but to the Lord in prayer?

Jesus said, "My house is a house of prayer."

When all hope seems gone,
pray to the One who is the Source of all hope.

He that prays, and prays, and prays
shall be like an oasis in the midst of a desert.

Does the oasis look
at the dry desert around it and say "Alas I am surrounded by dryness?"
