EngstromGod's people everywhere have taken great heartin the prominent place our new President, DwightEisenhower, has given to prayer. There is hope for anation when its leaders pray! God answers prayer!For a country to be great, however, not onlymust its leadership recognize the vital importance ofconstantly seeking the face of almighty God, but theindividuals of that nation likewise must share in theexperience of intercessoryprayer. What a responsibility is ours as God's people to engage in the important ministry of praying for our country and its leadership that God will deal with us as a nation in mercy, rather than in divine judgment. Do you pray dailyfor your country?The Importance of PrayerThere is abundant evidence in the Word of Godregarding the importance of prayer. Jesus said that"men ought always to pray and not to faint." Paulsaid, "'Continue in prayer, and watch in the samewith thanksgiving." Peter said, "The end of allthings is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watchunto James emphasized that "the effectualfervent prayer of a righteous man availethThe Christian ought to have an appetite forprayer. He should want to pray. One does not haveto force food upon a healthy child or adult. Exercise,good circulation, health and labor demand food forsustenance. So it is with those who are spirituallyhealthy. They have an appetite for the Word of Godand for prayer. If you find that you do not have sucha desire, or if that desire is extremely weak, youshould ask the Lord to reveal to you why this is true.There may be an obstruction in the way some sinthat interferes. The Bible tells us to "desire the sincere milk of the but in the verse just before,it tells us that we must "laycertain thingsfirst. If you do not have a desire for the Word andfor prayer, perhaps you should start by checkingyourself against that list.The admonition of Scripture is that we should"pray without It is not necessary to be onour knees all the time, but our heart should be on itsknees all the time.AloneWith God Not SelfWe need to realize that we do not come in prayerto find ourselves, but to meet God. Allow God tospeak to your heart. It is during periods of quietnessthat we most fully experience the presence of God.In our praying, everything depends upon God's taking the chief place. We have the full confidence thatGod hears and answers prayer. "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anythingaccording to his will, he heareth us : and if we knowthat he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that wehave the petitions that we desired of him."In your prayer and devotional life, it is best toget off alone. Early in the morning is usually best.There are fewer distractions and interruptions atthat time of day, and your mind is generally clearer.David said, "My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, 0 Lord ; in the morning will I direct my prayerunto thee, and will look Jesus likewise set thisexample: "And in the morning, rising up a greatwhile before day, he went out, and departed into asolitary place, and thereHowever, the important thing is be sure that youhave a definite time daily for prayer. You can depend upon it that a day that begins with prayer willend with praise. "Getting down on your knees helpsyou to stand on your feet."Skeptics may deride and those who are weakin faith may doubt but those who have diligentlyprayed know that God answers prayer.
