Prayer.

PRAYER arms a man with the strength and protection of God. It is that which keeps bright and shining “the whole armor of God.” If the heart is close to God, in ever so short a prayer, there is much said in a little. It is not necessary to quit one’s employment. Draw thy mind into a certain silence and rest from the jangling and company of all things below God. One short word spoken to Him in a darted thought, eases the mind more than the largest discourses to the greatest or most friendly of men. When thou art ready to faint, a look to him will revive thee.
They who seek the throne of grace, Find that throne in every place; If we live a life of prayer, God is present everywhere.
When our earthly comforts fail, When the foes of life prevail, 'Tis the time for earnest prayer, God is present everywhere.
