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."
OUR Saviour says: "Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full." There are many kinds of joy pictured in God's Word, but wondrous indeed is the gladness which fills the heart when a direct answer to prayer is experienced. To pray amid darkness and have God send great light; to pray in the face of a mighty barrier, and see God tear it down before our very eyes; to cry when in dire need and have God swiftly and bounteously supply it—what joy floods the heart at the moment our Father sends such answers! It is the joy of heaven itself, born of God, and its fulness may be ours for the asking. A Texas sister who several months ago asked us to pray for her healing, writes: "God has wonderfully answered your prayers, and has raised me up."
