MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His. Hebrews 4:9-10 Praying for others can only flow from a heart at rest about itself and knowing in itself the value of the desires which it expresses for another. I could not be truly happy praying otherwise. (J. Butler Stoney) PRAY ABOUT IT: Is your heart restless? So often our prayers can become the chattering of an insecure religious pretender. True prayer comes from a heart at rest, sure of itself and even more sure of the object of its prayer. Happiness in prayer comes from certainty. A restless heart is an uncertain heart. Today, anchor your prayers in God. Quiet your heart and be still before your Father. O God, make us children of quietness and heirs of peace. (Clement of Alexandria) | ||||||

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26 I have found that there are three stages in every great work of God: first, it is impossible, then it is difficult, then it is done. (J. Hudson Taylor) PRAY ABOUT IT: Every Christian should read 'Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secret'. The story of his hard missionary life and the answers to prayer will encourage the reader. One way he put the above statement to the test was in his motto: "To move man, through God, by prayer alone." To trust God to move in the heart of another, without his speaking a word to them, was his practice. It seemed impossible at times. But God didn't fail. What stage is your situation today? Impossible? Difficult? Or done? Stay with it until it is the latter. Remember this: ALL the resources of the Godhead are at our disposal. (Jonathan Goforth) | ||||||

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON I AM THE LORD; IN ITS TIME I WILL DO THIS SWIFTLY. (ISAIAH 60:22) God's delays are not denials, nor are they neglectful or unkind. He is waiting with watchful eye and intent for the precise moment to strike, when He can give a blessing which will be without alloy, and which will flood our life with blessings so royal, so plenteous, so divine, that eternity will be too short to utter all our praise. (F.B. Meyer) PRAY ABOUT IT: God's answers to prayer are always precisely on time. He's never late, not even a second. The blessing to come to you will be "so royal, so plenteous, so divine that eternity will be too short" to praise Him. Repeat, or sing if you can, the familiar lines: When we've been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise, Than when we'd first begun.
