“Pray On.”—“Men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” “Pray without ceasing.” “Continue instant in prayer.” “Praying at all seasons.” Surely, we should not have these injunctions and exhortations if prayer meant only a mere asking. Steadfast continuance is implied. If heaven seems brass to-day, plead to-morrow. If God seems far and trouble near, plead still. Your own heart may be clogging the current of His life. Your sins may be hiding the richest blessings. Pray on. Plead His love, His promises, your need. There are no mightier arguments. Then believe, hope; for He “taketh pleasure” “in those that hope in His mercy.”
