Keep On Praying!

A couple of days ago, I put a poem, by Harper Welch, on my Blog about our prayer life.  Since today is Friday, and we are looking to the coming Lord's Day, I wanted to continue with some thoughts on prayer.  The songwriter said --
      "Just keep on praying until light breaks through --
The Lord will answer; He'll answer you!
      God keeps His promise -- His Word is true --
Just keep on praying until light breaks through!"

I like this quote that someone has said --
     "You have not really prayed until your heart has talked."
And the Psalmist said --
     "They that sow in tears shall reap in joy."

I found the following quotes a few days ago in a Bible my husband gave me in 1976.  They spoke to my heart, and I trust they will to yours also.

     "The winning quality in prayer is persistence."
     "Men may spurn your appeals, reject your messages, and oppose your arguments, but they are helpless against your prayers."
     "Prayer is our highest privilege, our gravest responsibility, and the greatest power God has put into our hands.  Prayer, real prayer, is the noblest, the sublimest, the most stupendous act that any creature of God can perform."  (May God help us to see it as we should).
      Dwight L. Moody has said --"Behind every great movement of God, there is a kneeling figure."

And the Lord said in Jeremiah 33:3 --
     "Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not."  Praise the Lord!!
