Prayer is the greatest force that we can wield.  It is the greatest talent which God has granted us.  He has given it to every Christian.

From Philippians 4:6:  “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”

John Mott (1865-1955) was an American evangelist and distinguished leader of the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA).  In 1948, he received the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his efforts in establishing and strengthening international Protestant student organizations in promoting peace.

Real true faith is man’s weakness leaning on God’s strength.

From Psalm 18:2:  “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”

D. L. Moody (1837-1899), also known as Dwight Lyman Moody, was an American evangelist and Christian teacher.  He is frequently credited with inspiring modern mass revivalism.

Remember always that there are two things which are more utterly incompatible even than oil and water, and these two are trust and worry.

From Matthew 6:33-34:  “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.  So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own.  Today’s trouble is enough for today.”

Hannah Whitall Smith (1832-1911) was an American lay speaker and Christian author.  She was an active voice during the women’s suffrage movement as well as the temperance movement in the United States.

Too many demands

Fewer precious hours

Life out of control

Darkness set to devour

 

Light beams from God’s Word

Life’s frantic pace slows

Moment by moment

Steps finding high plateau

 

Fresh landscape of peace

In God, faith shall trust

Heart fills with new hope

Priorities adjust

 

Hidden darkness flees

Armor of light worn

God’s grace stretching out

His answers come each morn

 

Prayer’s conveyance

Journey with God’s love

Freedom at last found

Guidance breathes from above

From Romans 13:12:  “The night is far gone; the day is near.  Let us then throw off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.”

Praising Lord high above

Singing favorite hymn

Overflowing with His peace

Returning love to Him

 

Revealing mercy’s grace

Descending from God’s rock

Filling earthly, mortal place

Shepherding wayward flock

 

Declaring His purpose

Severing chains of sin

Forgiving each indictment

Teaching what should have been

 

Praying for faith’s new hope

Calling upon Lord’s name

Grasping heaven’s righteous rope

Granting grace, without blame

 

Climbing final mountain

Leaving this worldly dome

Dwelling jointly, wolf with lamb

Summoning to God’s home
