The Noon-Hour Prayer

"Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice." "And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends."
PRAYER at its best can never take a secondary place in life. When prayer has become secondary or incidental, it has lost its power. Those who are conspicuously men of prayer are those who use prayer as they use food, or air, or light, or money. They never attempt to get along without it. It is part of the provision and currency of their lives. They would count themselves starved or bankrupt if they should attempt to live a prayerless twenty-four hours. Many of us believe in prayer, and avail ourselves of it as a sort of "top dressing" to our lives, a desirable and helpful accompaniment to our own efforts, and nothing more. The result is that it never becomes anything more. And we live in poverty.—Sunday School Times.
