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 earth duties, and you are there. While putting that needle through the cloth, 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.
