CONSIDER THIS: YOUR PERSONAL PRAYING: PART FOUR.

​READ GENESIS 45-47. That morning hour in the Word of God listening to Him speaking to your heart and then speaking your heart to Him can be the best part of your day. “And in the morning rising up a great while before day, [Jesus] went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed” (Mark 1:35). One would think that He did not need prayer. But here is the record. Long before dawn He withdrew to be alone with His Father in prayer. How great then is our need of prayer. Martin Luther, during his tremendous schedule of preaching, writing, and contenting for the truth, said, “I cannot get on without three hours of prayer every day.” Think what that would do for us. Think what it would do for the churches. Until there are praying people, there will never be praying churches. He who cannot pray when the sun rises does not know how to pray when the clouds come.
