MEANING OF PRAYER.
“Prayer does not moan, as so many people scam to think, coming whining to Clod like a beggar, wlion you arc in trouble, while you cold-shoulder Him when everything is going well,” said the Rev. J. C. Winslow in a 8.8. C. broadcast. “Prayer is an ever-deepening friendship with Clod—the most marvellous experience any man or woman can come by. We draw fresh life from these quiet trysts with the greatest of all friends—new strength to go through the day’s tasks and difficulties; new light on the problems; new hope for the future; as we feel ourselves surrounded with a great love that will not let us go. But there is one aspect of prayer that is often forgotten. If prayer is a conversation of friends, there must be two sides to it, as to all conversations; and surely God’s side must be a bit more important than ours! So. why do we, most of us, do so much of the talking and so little of the listening?”
