PRAYER

By Mrs. P. Alderman

MRS. P. ALDERMAN
IS NOT the privilege of prayer, of speaking to God, assured that He listens and answers, the greatest privilege of mortals? Let us remember the secret place; for our Father knows that we have need. Let us ask to be anointed with the oil of gladness; ask for strength. How gladly He will give it! Praise His name.
The tree that is most firmly rooted is the one that has withstood the strongest blasts. So if we would be rooted and grounded in the faith, we must bear the discipline God sends, enduring all things, hoping all things; and this we can do if we have the anointing day by day. Yes, we become strong by enduring trials—strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Can we not live in the furnace if He will stay with us? Let us endure like good soldiers. How we admire the saints who have been faithful. If our time to be proved has come, let us be loyal to God and to His precious truth.
