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.”
From Bishop Taylor we quote the following helpful thoughts:—
“More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.”
“Prayer can obtain everything; can open the windows of heaven and shut the gates of hell; can detain an angel till he leaves a blessing; can open the treasures of rain, and soften the iron ribs of rocks till they melt into a flowing river; can arrest the sun in his course, and send the winds upon our errands.”
“It draws gifts from heaven. It fills the empty soul. It brings strength to the weak, true riches to the poor, grace to the feeble. It is a bank of wealth, a mine of mercies, a store of blessings. It flies where the eagle never flew. It travels farther than the light. Well might Mary, queen of Scotland, say, ‘I fear John Knox’s prayers more than an army of ten thousand men.’”
