Magnificent Prayer #243
May the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful.
Psalm 68:3
He who has learned to pray has learned the greatest secret of a holy and happy life.
WILLIAM LAW
Pray About It: With all our current material prosperity, there are still people with serious problems and no solution in sight. It won’t take long today until you pass someone who has been robbed of happiness by the troubles they face. Maybe you’re such a person.
And yet, is there really such a thing as an unhappy prayer warrior? Prayer, rightly defined, brings victory.
Happiness is built into prayer, and a by-product of personal holiness, but it’s elusive to those who are caught up in the pursuit of riches or who try to solve their problems with worldly wisdom.
Today, share the secret of happiness through prayer with someone who needs to know. Some people near you today are seeking the very answer you possess.
This is a secret that is best unkept.
How much needless care would we save ourselves if we but believed in prayer as the means of relieving those cares, and would learn the happy art of casting all our cares in prayer upon God.
