Persistence in Prayer, Part 7 (TPMD Bus 2 - #586)

TODAY'S POEM: "Lord, Teach Us How to Pray Aright" by James Montgomery

Our prayer motivator passage from the Word of God today is II Kings 6:17 which reads: "And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see.

Our prayer motivator quote today is from Andrew Murray. He said, "Answered prayer is the interchange of love between the Father and His child."

If the Royal and Divine Son of God cannot be exempted from the rule of asking that He may have, you and I cannot expect the rule to be relaxed in our favour. Why should it be? What reason can be pleaded why we should be exempted from prayer? What argument can there be why we should be deprived of the privilege and delivered from the necessity of supplication? ...
