The Precious Privilege of Prayer

WHAT a precious privilege is prayer! Come to the mercy-seat—that seat where love and justice, holiness and pardon, divinely sit; whence great streams fall on the sin-sick soul. Let no hour pass without a visit to the throne of grace. It is but a thought-step, “an upward glancing of the eye,” a leap of the soul from its earth duties, and you are there. While putting that needle through the cloth, or washing that cup, or selling that parcel, or driving that nail, you can go to the mercy-seat. Thread every fiber of life with these pearls. Leaven every lump with this sacred life.
