A Voice for the Past - Spurgeon

Pray, for prayer holds the chain that binds the old dragon. Prayer can hold fast and restrain even Satan himself.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon, 1834-1892, (The Power of Prayer in a Believer's Life, edited by Robert Hall, Emerald Books, 1993, p. 192)

Is prayer the proper way to deal with Satan? How should we deal with him?
