Provoking Thoughts on Prayer
The greatest and best talent that God gives to any man or woman in this world is the talent of prayer. And the best payment of interest that any man or woman brings back to God when He comes to reckon with them at the end of this world, is a life of prayer. And those servants best put their money “to the exchangers” (Matt. 25:27) who rise early and sit late, as long as they are in this world, ever finding out and every following after greater and better methods of prayer and every forming more secret, more steadfast, and more spiritually fruitful habits of prayer, until they literally “pray without ceasing” (1 Thess. 5:17); and until they continually strike out into new enterprises in prayer, and achievements, and new enrichments.
None can believe ow powerful prayer is, and what it is able to effect, but those who have learned it by experience.
