About This Quote

Writing and prayer are both a form of love, and love takes courage. In the Bible, we find the story of King David who wrote Psalms and wrote prayers to God. He was very moved by his religious devotion and his passion for writing. He was also very brave as he could not be stopped from writing. It is because of these qualities that he became a great king and leader.
