Prayer
"The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray."

Synopsis
"The apostle Paul exhorts us, "He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." (I Cor. 1:31). This is the fundamental duty of every man. We are to glory in God, not in ourselves. Man is prone by nature to boast of his power and ability, and of his works and will; but he must not. For we have nothing of which to boast. Of ourselves, we are nothing and even less than nothing (Isa. 40:17). All that we are is given to us of God. "He (God) giveth to all life, and breath, and all things... In him we live, and move, and have our being..." (Acts 17:25, 28). If we are to glory, we must glory in God's greatness and power, in God's works and ways. We are admonished, "Sing unto him (God), sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works." (Ps. 105:2). It is our calling to glory especially in God's wondrous work of salvation. With the Psalmist we must sing, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies..." (Ps. 103: 2-4). For we contribute absolutely nothing to salvation. It is all the wondrous work of God. He is the Sovereign Savior. Before the foundation of the world He planned salvation. He actually obtained salvation by sending His Son to die on the cross. By His grace He alone applies salvation to the heart and life of His people. Thus, from beginning to end "salvation is of the Lord" (Jonah 2:9). All the glory is God's. It is our prayer that the Lord God will be pleased to use this pamphlet as a testimony of His sovereign grace, for the advancement of the cause of His Truth, and to the glory of His great name. "Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth." (Ps. 57:5). Rev. Steven R. Houck"
