Provoking Thoughts on Prayer
A Praying Church
“I knew a minister who had a revival fourteen winters in a row. I did not know how to account for it, till I saw one of his members get up in a prayer meeting and make a confession. “Brethren’, said he, ‘I have been long in the habit of praying every Saturday night until after midnight, for the descent of the Holy Spirit upon us. And now, brethren,’ and he began to weep, ‘I confess that I have neglected it for two or three weeks.’ The secret was out. That minister had a praying church.”
