A Prayer of Faith

Any and all providences are special providences, and prayer and this sort of providences work hand in hand. God’s hand is in everything. None are beyond Him nor beneath His notice. Not that God orders everything which comes to pass. Man is still a free agent, but the wisdom of Almighty God comes out when we remember that while man is free, and the devil is abroad in the land, God can superintend and overrule earth’s affairs for the good of man and for His glory, and cause even the wrath of man to praise Him.

When the records of eternity are read out to an assembled world, then will it appear how much prayer has wrought in this world. Little is now seen of the fruits of prayer compared to all that it has accomplished and is accomplishing. At the judgment day, then will God disclose the things which were brought to pass in this world through the prayers of the saints. Many occurrences which are now taken as a matter of course will then be seen to have happened because of the Lord’s praying ones. (Adapted from E.M. Bound, The Necessity of Prayer)

A Prayer for Victory

The story of Samson reveals what happens when we take the blessings of God and use them for foolishness and self-glory. God is willing to answer our prayers and deliver us from our adversaries. It’s shameful, however, when he has to deliver us from our own worst enemy, ourselves.
