HOW TO PRAY.—
“As for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you.”—1 Sam. xii. 23.
It is sin against the Lord to cease praying for others. When once we begin to see how absolutely indispensable intercession is, just as much a duty as loving God or believing in Christ, and how we are called and bound to it as believers, we shall feel that to cease intercession is grievous sin. Let us ask for grace to take up our place as priests with joy, and give our life to bring down the blessing of heaven.
