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.”

“DANIEL through prayer became a man of power. The secret of his lifelong, steadfast integrity is found in his habit of prayer. That was the discipline that made him what he was. ‘I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.’ Daniel was well known in heaven and greatly loved there. His constant intercourse with God had made him a man with whom heaven delighted to coöperate; and when Daniel began to pray, immediately the angels were at work to fulfil his heart’s desire. It was in prayer that Jacob found power with God and men. Prayer is the unfailing key to life’s problems. . . . Prayer opens a way when there is none. Prayer makes it possible for the Omnipotent to work. Prayer makes the weak and erring man a prince of heaven.”
