PRAYER

By Dr. J. Hamilton

Has not the church almost to learn yet what is the power of prayer? What conception have we of believing prayer, before which mountains depart? What of persevering prayer, which causes us to stand continually upon the watch-tower in the day time, and which sets us in our ward whole nights? What of importunate prayer which storms Heaven with its violence and force? What of united prayer, gathering us together to ask help of the Lord? What of constant prayer, which regards no iniquity in our hearts? What of practical prayer, which fulfills itself?
Let such prayers be understood; let our spirit but break with such longing, and the expectations of our bosoms shall not be delayed.
“And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.”—Dr. J. Hamilton.
