Kneeling We Triumph Volume One: A sigh of a true Christian is prayer!

Posted on by

We sometimes limit prayer to words we mouth to God through our lips. “The prayers of upright Christians are without ceasing,” Martin Luther tells us, “though they pray not always with their mouth, yet their hearts do pray continually; for the sigh of a true Christian is prayer.”

O instruct us how to pray!
Pour out the supplicating grace,
And stir us up to seek Thy face.
We cannot think a gracious thought,
We cannot feel a good desire,
Till Thou, Who calledst a world from nought,
The power into our hearts inspire.
The promised Intercessor give,
And let us now Thyself receive.
—Charles Wesley.
“The great battles,” says Samuel L. Brengle, “the battles that decide our destiny and the destiny of generations yet unborn, are not fought on public platforms, but in the lonely hours of the night and in moments of agony.”

Ministers who are orthodox, devoted, and busy, need to lay aside many “things” and rekindle the holy glow within their own souls. Do not be so busy running a program that you have no time to wait upon Christ.
—Oliver G. Wilson.
