COME AWAY MY BELOVED by FRANCES J. ROBERTS WALK YE IN IT Behold, I say unto thee, This is the way. Walk ye in it. Lo, I am the way. Walk in Me. I am the truth. Believe Me (trust in Me). I am the Life. Live in Me, and share My life with others. For thou knowest not what I do now, but thou shalt know hereafter. (Now we see in a glass darkly, but then, face to face. Now our grasp of the ways of God is incomplete, but as we move on, we come to understand what He has been endeavoring to do in our lives.) REJOICE. Rejoice not so much in victories as in the fact that I am leading. PRAISE ME. Not so much for My blessings as for My love which prompts them. Serve Me with gladness, not for the ultimate nor present reward, but for the thrill of knowing that we labor together, that I stand beside thee in every enterprise however trivial. | ||||||

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (Eph. 3:14 NKJV) Pray distinctly. Pray upon your knees. One grows tired sometimes of the free thought which is yet perfectly true, that a man can pray anywhere and anyhow. But men have found it good to make the whole system pray. Kneel down, and the very bending of these obstinate and unused knees of yours will make the soul kneel down in the humility in which it can be exalted in the sight of God. (Phillips Brooks) PRAY ABOUT IT: Kneeling has become the traditional pose for prayer. The prophet Daniel knelt as he prayed, as did many other great pray-ers of the faith. William Newell said that kneeling is a good way to pray, precisely because it's uncomfortable (it's hard to fall asleep on one's knees). Of course we can pray in any position, but today we will kneel, if physically possible. The bending of the knees to God is a picture of our broken strength. It signifies surrender, as do uplifted hands. Pray distinctly to God today. And do so with surrender in your heart and in your knees. Then drink from the great fountain of God. Is there any place in any of our rooms where there is a little bit of carpet worn white from our knees? (Alexander MacLaren) A Christian who kneels before God will stand before men.

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy. Philippians 1:4 Do let us believe that God's call to much prayer need not be a burden and cause of continual self-condemnation. He means it to be a joy! He can make it an inspiration, giving us strength for all our work, and bringing down His power to work through us in our fellowmen. (Andrew Murray) PRAY ABOUT IT: Sometimes we miss our prayer time. We get busy and go about our day and our prayers are unsaid. It happens. But when it happens, God never condemns us nor inflicts guilt on us. We do that our- selves. Prayer is the joyous burden and is meant to add to our lives, not subtract. If you've missed days of praying and have felt condemned, then you must change your thinking. Pray on in joy and forget your failures! God does. Faith cancels all that is past, and there is no condemnation to thee. (John Wesley) | ||||||
