The Noon-Hour Prayer

“Evening, and morning, and at noon will I pray, and cry aloud; and he shall hear my voice.” “And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends.”
“PRAYER has not many conditions; if it had, the ease and simplicity and first purpose of prayer would be defeated. But belief and submission are essentials. God desires that those who ask shall trust; and, further, that whatever his answer, they shall be able to say, ‘Thy will be done.’”
“Prayer produces peace. Nowhere else are the wrinkles of care so quickly smoothed from the soul as at the mercy-seat. The Christian who is constant in prayer wears a serene and unruffled spirit. Anxiety is displaced by trust. The confidence that our times are in the Father’s hands is wonderfully provocative of peace. One of the lessons that the prayer-taught early learn is to cast ‘all your care upon him; for he careth for you.’”
