Description
Excerpt from The Ministry of Intercession: A Plea for More Prayer
Have been asked by a friend, who heard of this book being published, what the difi'erence would be between it and the previous one on the same subject, witii christ IN the school or prayer. An answer to that question may be the best introduction I can give to the present volume. Any acceptance the former work has had must be attributed, as far as the contents go, to the prominence given to two great truths. The one was, the certainty that prayer will be answered. There is with some an idea that to ask and expect an answer is not the highest form of prayer. Fellowship with God, apart from any request, is more than supplication. About the petition there is something of selfishness and bargaining - to worship is more than to beg. With others the thought that prayer is so Often unanswered is so prominent, that they think more Of the spiritual benefit derived from the exercise of prayer thanthe actual gifts to be obtained by it. While admitting the measure of truth in these views.
