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.”
In suggesting the observance of the noon-hour prayer service several months ago, the design was that this should be observed by families and individuals as far as possible. We believe that such a plan as this would bring spiritual blessing and help into many lives. Some we know have regularly engaged in this season, and they write us of the blessed communion which they have enjoyed with the great Father above. We suggest that all our readers, as far as possible, form a practise of seeking God at the midday hour. Withdraw for a few moments from the busy affairs of life, read some blessed promise from the Word of God, take a moment for meditation and serious thought, and then kneel down and seek for divine blessing and guidance. It would be well on this occasion to remember the poor and needy and sick and suffering; also to hold up before Heaven those who have made special requests for prayer in this column. Morning, noon, and night is none too often to address our petitions to the throne of grace.
