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.”
“SECRET prayer is secret power, and without the secret of prayer the secret of power will never be known.”
Dr. Wilfred Grenfell, missionary to the deep-sea fishermen of Labrador, says of the blessing of prayer:—
“The privilege of prayer to me is one of my most cherished possessions, because faith and experience alike convince me that God himself sees and answers, and his answers I never venture to criticize. ‘It is only my part to ask. It is entirely his to give or withhold, as he knows is best. If it were otherwise, I should not dare to pray at all. In the quiet of home, in the heat of life and strife, in the face of death, the privilege of speech with God is inestimable. I value it more because it calls for nothing that the wayfaring man, though a fool, cannot give—that is, the simplest expression to his simplest desire. When I can neither see, nor hear, nor speak, still I can pray so that God can hear.”
