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.”
HUGH MILLER once said: “Prayer is so mighty an instrument that no one has ever thoroughly mastered all its keys. They sweep along the infinite scale of man’s wants and of God’s goodness.” Are you in need to-day? The Father above is merciful and gracious. He longs to help you over the hard places and to lighten all your burdens. Trust him with a faith that is strong and steadfast; ask, believing that heaven’s boundless resources await your demand and reception. Then into your life will come a wonderful blessing, such peace and joy and satisfaction as the world can never give. But if you would have the reward in its fulness, you must tarry awhile in the chamber of prayer. He who rushes into the presence of God and hurriedly whispers a few requests, and then immediately rushes out again, never, perhaps, sees God at all. “He can no more get a vision than a disquieted lake can mirror the stars. We must stay long enough to become calm, for it is only the peaceful soul in which eternal things are reflected as in a placid water.”
