The possibilities of prayer reach to all things. Whatever concerns our highest welfare, and whatever has to do with God’s plans and purposes concerning His church on earth, is a subject for prayer. In “whatsoever ye shall ask,” is embraced all that concerns us. And whatever is left out of “whatsoever” is left out of prayer. Where will we draw the lines which leave out or which will limit the word “whatsoever”? Define it, and search out and publish the things which the word does not include. If “whatsoever” does not include all things, then add to it the word “anything.” “If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.” (Adapted from E.M. Bounds, The Necessity of Prayer)
