Constant Prayer

PRAY often — in bits, with a persistency of habit that betrays a childlike eagerness and absorption. Rise up to question God as children do their earthly parents — at morning, noon, and night, and between times. Ask Him about everything. Be with Him more than with all other persons. Acquire the home habit with Him. Be a child in His hands. Do not fear lest He be too busy to listen, or too “grown-up” to care or to understand. Just talk to Him — in broken sentences, half formed; with crude wishes, in foolish chatter if need be. Make the heavenly Father the center of your life, the source and the judge of all your satisfactions. Be sure to let Him put you to bed, waken you in the morning, wait on you at table, order your day’s doings, protect you from harm, soothe your disquiet, supply all your daily needs.—How to Talk with God.
