INSTANT IN PRAYER.

By Felix Neff

"Continuing instant in prayer."—Rom. 12: 12.
WHEN a pump is frequently used, but little pains are necessary to obtain water; the water pours out at the first stroke, because it is high; but if the pump has not been used for a long time the water gets low, and when you want it you have to pump a long while, and the water comes only after great effort. It is so with prayer. If we are instant in prayer, every little circumstance awakens the disposition to pray, and desire and words are always ready. But if we neglect prayer, it is difficult for us to pray, for the water in the well gets low.—Felix Neff.
