November 15th -- Nehemiah 2 THE WAY OF PRAYER |
||||||||||||||
THE spirit of prayer is caught, not taught. It is caught in the prayers of the faithful in the Bible, and from the example of Jesus.There may be difficulties. Some who have grown old in the Faith have confessed that they had not found it easy to pray; perhaps because of diffidence in speaking to the Father, or because it had been mistakenly assumed that one should use a particular form of words. Some found that they did not know what to pray for, or about. Yet the Father is the truest Friend of all and we can reveal things to Him that could never be told to anyone else.Praying is the opportunity for worship, for praise and thanksgiving, for supplication and for the joy of talking with the Father. It can be silent or uttered, and used anywhere and at any time: in a tram or bus, when driving a car or walking to work; at home, in the office or factory; or even whilst standing before a king in great distress (Nehemiah 2:4). JOHN MARSHALL, The New Life, page 92 |
