[p208] Third Day
WHAT TO PRAY.—
“With all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all saints.”—Eph. vi. 18.
Every member of a body is interested in the welfare of the whole, and exists to help and complete the others. Believers are one body, and ought to pray, not so much for the welfare of their own church or society, but, first of all, for all saints. This large, unselfish love is the proof that Christ’s Spirit and Love is teaching them to pray. Pray first for all and then for the believers around you.
HOW TO PRAY.—
“By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another.”—John xiii. 35.
“I pray that they all may be one, that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me.”—John xvii. 21.
