1:1 THE prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the
sick is an absolute faith that all things are 1:3 possible to God,- a spiritual understanding of Him, an unselfed love. Regardless of what another may say or think on this subject, I speak from experience. 1:6 Prayer, watching, and working, combined with self-im- molation, are God's gracious means for accomplishing whatever has been successfully done for the Christian- 1:9 ization and health of mankind. Thoughts unspoken are not unknown to the divine Mind. Desire is prayer; and no loss can occur from 1:12 trusting God with our desires, that they may be moulded and exalted before they take form in words and in deeds. Right motives 2:1 What are the motives for prayer? Do we pray to make ourselves better or to benefit those who hear us, 2:3 to enlighten the infinite or to be heard of men? Are we benefited by praying? Yes, the desire which goes forth hungering after righteous- 2:6 ness is blessed of our Father, and it does not return unto us void. Deity unchangeable God is not moved by the breath of praise to do more 2:9 than He has already done, nor can the infinite do less |
