" I sought the Lord, and he heard me." (Psalm 34:4)

Andrew Murray says: It is one of the terrible marks of the diseased state of the Christian life in these days, that there are so many that rest content without the distinct experience of answered prayer. They pray daily, but know little of direct, definite answer to prayer as the rule of their daily life.

And it is this the Father wills. He seeks daily interaction with his children in listening to and granting their petitions. He wills that I should come to him day-by-day with distinct requests. He wills day-by-day to do for me what I ask.

There may be cases in which the answer is a refusal, but our Father lets his child know when He cannot give him what he requests, and like the Son in Gethsemane, He will withdraw his petition.

Whether the request be according to His will or not, God will by His Word and His Spirit teach those who are teachable and who will give Him time. Let us withdraw our requests, if they are not according to God's mind, or persevere until the answer comes.

Prayer is appointed to obtain the answer!

It is in prayer and it's answer that the interchange of love between the Father and His child takes place.

Are your prayers answered?

"We glory in tribulations.... knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience experience; and experience hope: and hope maketh not ashamed. "
Romans 5: 3-5

A story is told of the great artist Turner, that one day he invited Charles Kingsley to his studio to see a picture of a storm at sea. Kingsley was rapt in admiration. "How did you do it, Turner?" he exclaimed. Turner answered: "I wished to paint a storm at sea; so I went to the coast of Holland, and engaged a fisherman to take me out in his boat and the next storm. The storm was brewing, and I went down to the boat and bade him to bind me to its mast. Then he drove the boat out into the teeth of the storm. The storm was so furious that I longed to be down in the bottom of the boat and allow it not to blow over me. But I could not: I was bound to the mast. Not only did I see that storm, and feel it, but it blew itself into me until I became part of the storm. And then I came back and painted the picture."

His experience is a parable of life: sometimes cloud; and sometimes sunshine; sometimes pleasure; sometimes pain. Life is a great mixture of happiness and tragic storm. He who comes out of it rich and living, is he who dares to accept it all, face it all, and let it blow its power, mystery and tragedy into the inmost recesses of the soul. A victory so won in this life will then be an eternal possession.

"God shall hear." (Psalm 55:19)

I was standing at a bank counter in Liverpool waiting for the clerk to come. I picked up a pen and began to print on a blotter in very large letters two words which had gripped me like a vise: "PRAY THROUGH." I kept talking to a friend and printing until I had the desk blotter filled from top to bottom with a column. I transacted my business and went away. The next day my friend came to see me, and said he had a striking story to tell.

A business man came into the bank soon after we had gone. He had grown discouraged with business and troubles. He started to transact some business with the clerk, over that blotter, when his eye caught the long column of "PRAY THROUGH. " He ask who wrote those words and when will he was told exclaimed, "That is the very message I needed. I will pray through. I have tried in my own strength to worry through, and have merely mentioned my troubles to God; now I am going to pray the situation through until I get light."

- A personal testimony of Charles M. Alexander.

Don't stop praying, but have more trust;
Don't stop praying, for pray we must;
Faith will banish a mount of care;
Don't stop praying! God answers prayer.
-C.M.A.

All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for what I have not seen!

" God led them not through the way of the.... Philistines, although that was near." (Exodus 13:17)

Why not? Because the people needed disciplining and moulding as a Nation. They would have been destroyed by way of Philistia, But by the way of the wilderness they were trained slowly for the great task at their journey's end. God, who chose the route also chose the leader. God, who disciplined the people, also disciplined the man who led them.

History and experience seemed to point to the fact, that God's line for us is not usually a straight line, but a winding zigzag path.

The round-about way may not be the nearest!- Joseph Parker

Over the Apennines there is a wonderful railroad-one passes through forty-three tunnels in less than seventy miles-magnificent outlooks, but every few minutes, a tunnel! The road has been built to carry the traveller to his destination by the shortest way; anyone getting off at the first station simply because he did not like the tunnels, and striking into the mountains to find another path, would be almost sure of being lost and starving to death.

Can we not believe the same thing of God's way? His way lies through tunnels-long ones often, but it is the best and safest road. And it is not all tunnels; in the region of the high rocks there are most glorious prospects! Places so full of beauty, and commanding such outlooks of love and mercy, as ought to reconcile us to the intervals of darkness.

Be not afraid of the winding way if God turns you into it.

Travel the road HE points out to you!

God brings men to His consummations only by His own road.

We climbed the height by the zigzag path
And wondered why until
We understood it was made zigzag
To break the force of the hill.

A road straight up would prove too steep
For the traveler's feet to tread;
The thought was kind in it's wise design
Of a zigzag path instead.

It is often so in our daily life;
We fail to understand
The the twisting way our feet must tread
By love alone was planned.

Then murmur not at the winding way,
It is our Father's will
To lead us home by the zigzag path,
To break the force of the hill.
~Anon

Simply following God is the true philosophy of life.

"He giveth quietness." (Job 34:29)

QUIETNESS amid the dash of the storm. We sail the lake with Him still; and as we reach it's middle waters, far from land, under midnight skies, suddenly a great storm sweeps down. Earth and hell seem arrayed against us, and each billow threatens to overwhelm. Then He arises from His sleep, and rebukes the winds and the waves; His hand waves benediction and repose over the rage of the tempestuous elements. His voice is heard above the scream of the wind and the cordage and the conflict of the billows, "Peace be still!" Can you not hear it? And there is instantly a great calm. "He giveth quietness." Quietness amid the loss of inward consolations. He sometimes withdraws these, because we make too much of them. We are tempted to look at our joy, our ecstasies, our transports, or our visions, with too great complacency. Then love for love's sake, withdraws them. But, by His grace, He reads us to distinguish between them and Himself. He draws nigh, and whispers the assurance of His presence. Thus an infinite calm comes to keep our heart and mind. "He giveth quietness."
