The Noon-Hour Prayer

“Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.” “And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends.”

“PRAYER is the atmosphere in which the Christian lives; the key which opens the door of heaven; the wire which connects us with the great white throne; the gate through which we enter into the presence-chamber of the Eternal; the highway in which we meet the King in his beauty; the pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night which leads us through the wilderness of this world to

the bright Canaan beyond; the valley in which still waters flow, and in which he whose name is Wonderful reveals himself; the golden stairway by which we convey the longings of our hearts up to our Heavenly Father.”
