Those who seek God in secret telling the Lord their needs
and pleading for help will not plead in vain. “Thy Father which sees in secret
Himself shall reward thee openly.
As we make Christ our daily companion we shall feel that the
powers of an unseen world are all around us, and by looking unto Jesus we shall
become assimilated into His image.
By beholding we become changed. The character is softened,
refined, and ennobled for the heavenly kingdom.
The sure result of
our intercourse and fellowship with our Lord will be to increase piety, purity,
and fervor. There will be a growing intelligence in prayer. We are receiving a
divine education, and this is illustrated in a life of diligence and zeal.
The soul that turns to God for its help, its support, its
power, by daily, earnest prayer, will have noble aspirations, clear perceptions
of truth and duty, lofty purposes of action, and a continual hungering and
thirsting after righteousness.
By maintaining a connection with God, we shall be enabled to
diffuse to others, through our association with them, the light, the peace, the
serenity, that rule in our hearts.
The strength acquired in prayer to God, united with
persevering effort in training the mind in thoughtfulness and care-taking,
prepares one for daily duties and keeps the spirit in peace under all
circumstances.
