Secret and Family Prayer

By Albert Barnes

SECRET and family prayer should be daily. We daily have the same necessities, are exposed to the same dangers, tread on the borders of the same Heaven or hell. How should the voice of praise and prayer go up as incense in the morning, and rise as a rich perfume in the shades of each evening! What more lovely object than the one in the bloom of health and the dew of youth bending with reverence before the King of Heaven, seeking forgiveness, peace, guidance, and life! And what a strange, misguided, and piteous object is a soul that never prays!—Albert Barnes.
