DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 7:11 to 8:19; Job 9-10; Matt. 5:21-48

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit…
Ephesians 6:18

Prayer is not to be a once in a while thing, but constant and continual. Our Lord Jesus said we ought to always pray and not faint. We are to pray for other believers and all those who are preaching the gospel fearlessly. We are to pray for unbelievers who are in authority and not forget to pray for our enemies and those who treat us unfairly. To our eyes, nothing may change. But we will feel refreshed and God will be at work. We cannot pray for someone and stay bitter. —G. Frear

I asked the Lord, that I might grow
In faith, and love, and every grace;
Might more of His salvation know,
And seek more earnestly His face. —John Newton
