PRAYER A CONFLICT.

By Charles Bridges

HE who knows not prayer to be a conflict, a warfare, beset with hindrances, has never known what prayer is.
He who meets these hindrances without grief, without resistance, knows nothing of the privilege of prayer, nothing of a life of faith.
The child of God both feels and resists these hindrances, as depriving him of the happiness of communion with God.
Hence that cry, "Be not silent unto me; lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit." Ps. 28:1.
—Rev. Charles Bridges, D.D.
