PRAYING GIANT ‘’And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.’’ (Luke 18:1) E. M. Bounds ‘On Prayer’ reported the testimony of a young man, told by Professor James in ‘Varieties of Religious Experience’. It says: ‘’God is more real to me than any thought or thing or person. …I talk to him as to a companion in prayer and praise, and our communion is delightful. He answers me again and again, often in words so clearly spoken…. Usually a text of the Scripture will unfold to me some new view of Him…, His love for me, and His care for my safety. The knowledge that He is mine and I am His…is an abiding joy”. This testimony fits the admonition from our text that youth ought always to pray, and not to faint. Dear youth, how is your prayer life? Is it similar to the experience narrated above? Prayer is a Christian way of life. Pray for everything pertaining to your life, other youths, the nation, the church and our world. Pray in the name of Jesus, with the power of the Holy Spirit. Pray without ceasing. Surely, God will answer your prayers. Challenge: From today pray without ceasing. Prayer: Lord, give me grace to pray without ceasing. Further Reading: James 5:13-18
