Woman Praying |
The strength acquired in prayer to God will prepare us for
our daily duties. The temptations to which we are daily exposed make prayer a
necessity.
In order that we may
be kept by the power of God through faith, the desires of the mind should be continually ascending in silent prayer.
When we are surrounded by influences calculated to lead us
away from God, our petitions for help and strength must be unwearied. Unless this is so, we shall never be successful in breaking down pride and overcoming
the power of temptation to sinful indulgences that keep us from the Saviour.
The light of truth, sanctifying the life, will discover to
the receiver the sinful passions of his heart which are striving for the
mastery, and which make it necessary for him to stretch every nerve and exert
all his powers to resist Satan that he may conquer through the merits of
Christ.
We do not value the power and efficacy of prayer as we should. Prayer and faith will do what no power on earth can accomplish. we are seldom, in all respects, placed in the same position twice.
We continually have new scenes and new trials to pass through, where past experience cannot be a sufficient guide. We must have the continual light that comes from God.
