All those who have been mighty in prayer have realized that a true conversation with God can take place only when His Spirit has first touched the heart. That aid did not prevent them, however, from giving many practical suggestions and statements concerning the right exercise of prayer, both in connection with its form and its content. A return to these directions and their living revival is, in the face of the terrible prayerlessness and helplessness of the present day, one of the most important tasks that theology must undertake for the people of our time. -- Adolf Köberle, *Quest* p. 174
