Prayer.

By L. B.

Prayer is sweet intercourse with Jesus; is the expression of our desires unto God. It is a privilege with which our Maker has favored us, and an act of obedience which he has required of us, to pray without ceasing and in everything to give thanks. Prayer is the direct means of obtaining blessings from God; for his promises are that if we ask, we shall receive. Need we feel ourselves poor with such spiritual wealth within our reach?
Every child of God may rest assured that there is in him to whom he makes his desires known, attributes of mercy and kindness. The Lord is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all the works of his hand.
“Then earnest let us be     And never faint in prayer; God loves our importunity,     And makes our cause his care.”
L. B.
