Magnificent Prayer #364
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God.
1 John 3:1 KJV
No matter what prayer has secured, attained or achieved for us, boundless possibilities still lie before us. It may be doubted whether we have yet touched more than the fringe of the garment of a prayerhearing God. We come timid and trembling when we ought to come boldly and confidently. We ask but little, where we should only honor God by making large demands.
ARTHUR T. PIERSON
Pray About It: When Dr. Pierson was an old man, he preached one last time at Highbury and said these words, “I tell you as a dying man that no man has ever obtained all he might have obtained from God.”
God has more to give us next year. There are more promises to claim, more ground to gain, more hope to be had. It can truthfully be said that God has more to give us next year than we can possibly obtain.
But let’s give it a try anyway.
Prayer is the root, the fountain, the mother of a thousand blessings.
JOHN CHRYSOSTOM
