[Manna - June 25]
Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving. Colossians 4:2
EVERY trial of faith and patience is an occasion for
prayer for the promised succor.
Every failure to gain
victory is an occasion for a prayer for forgiveness, and
as well for divine blessing, that the lesson of our own
weakness may be deeply impressed, so that in the next
similar trial we may promptly apply for and lay hold
upon the "grace to help" promised.
Every victory over
self is an occasion for prayer that we be not high
minded and puffed up, but kept humble and watchful
for the next attack from the great adversary.
Every
service for the Truth becomes an occasion for a prayer
of thanks for the privilege of serving the Great King,
and mayhap to have suffered something for His cause;
and a reason for supplication for further opportunities
for service and grace to use them wisely. Z.'96-163 R2006:1
