Prayer Is an Armor

By F. W. Robertson

PRAYER is a preparation for danger; it is the armor for battle. Go not into the dangerous world without it. You kneel down at night to pray, and drowsiness weighs down your eyelids. A hard day’s work is a kind of excuse, and you shorten your prayer, and resign yourself softly to repose. The morning breaks, and it may be you rise late, and so your early devotions are omitted, or done with irregular haste. It is no marvel if that day, in which you suffer drowsiness to interfere with prayer, be a day on which you betray him by cowardice and soft shrinking from duty.— F. W. Robertson.
