There are six little words tucked away in the 109th Psalm that are so desperately needed in our world today! The devil hates them, and will do everything he can to hinder us from doing them. The six little words are -- ". . .but I give myself unto prayer." The devil hates these words because he knows there is power in prayer -- there is power in prevailing prayer to give success and victory! So he tries to keep our minds filled with busyness -- with the cares of life -- anything to distract us and keep us away from the throne of grace where we need to come daily and pour out our heart to our Heavenly Father.
Sadly, it is difficult to close out everything, get alone with God, and pour out our heart to Him. It has been said that no great work in literature or science was ever wrought by a man who did not love solitude. Let us determine in these perilous times to often go to "The Beautiful Garden of Prayer."
"There's a garden where Jesus is waiting. There's a place that is wondrously fair, For it glows with the light of His presence. 'Tis the beautiful garden of prayer. There's a garden where Jesus is waiting, and I go with my burden and care, Just to learn from His lips words of comfort in the beautiful garden of prayer.
There's a garden where Jesus is waiting, and He bids you to come; meet Him there, Just to bow and receive a new blessing in the beautiful garden of prayer. Oh, the beautiful garden, the garden of prayer! Oh, the beautiful garden of prayer! There my Saviour awaits, and He opens the gates to the beautiful garden of prayer."
