Ask of Me, Part 10 (The Prayer Motivator Devotional Bus 2 - #552)

TODAY'S POEM: "For Each and Every Day" by Daniella Whyte 

VERSE: Deuteronomy 3:23-27

QUOTE: "In the quiet hours, in the heat of battle, and through the hazards of the day; in times of temptation, of sorrow, of peace and of blessing, let us pray always, both alone, and with our families gathered around us, with gratitude for the blessings of life, for understanding of its problems, and for strength to endure to the end." --Heber J. Grant 

DEVOTIONAL: "ASK OF ME" part 10 from E.M. Bounds 

In the New Testament the marvellous prayer of the Old Testament is put to the front that it may provoke and stimulate our praying, and it is preceded with a declaration, the dynamic energy of which we can scarcely translate. “The supplication of a righteous man availeth much. Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.” 

Our paucity in results, the cause of all leanness, is solved by the Apostle James—“Ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend it on your pleasures.” 

That is the whole truth in a nutshell. 

Pray, Think, Do! God Bless You!
