The Greatest Remedy

By J. A. P. GREEN

THE greatest remedy for this busy and perplexing age is the revival of the prayer spirit. To begin the day aright is the first step toward getting right with God. Draw near to him, and he will draw near to you. David was aroused to the necessity of early consecration. He said, “My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.”

So in the early morning hours open your Morning Watch Calendar, and there find the text for the day. Read it, not in a critical spirit, but as the voice of God speaking to you, and read more than the one text. In the Bible you will find a panacea for every ill. If your faith is not strong enough to begin the day with, sit down and have a quiet talk with Paul. If troubles threaten on every side, read the Psalms. If your future is not so bright as it should be, read the inspired visions of Isaiah and the apostle whom Jesus loved. Thus fortified, you can to far better advantage take up the duties of a new day.
