REMEMBER THAT PRAYER IS NOT MERE PETITION, BUT RATHER COMMUNION, POURING OUT THE WHOLE SOUL TO GOD. PRAYER IS THE GOLDEN KEY THAT UNLOCKS ALL THE STOREHOUSES OF GOD'S GRACE. THERE IS LITTLE DANGER OF TOO MUCH TIME BEING SPENT IN PRAYER. BAD HABITS ARE OVERCOME BY PRAYER; EVIL THOUGHTS AND TENDENCIES ARE ROOTED OUT BY PRAYER; DARK HOURS ARE MADE LIGHT BY PRAYER; MIDNIGHT OF PRAYER BRINGS NOONDAY AND VICTORY. FORM THE HABIT OF PRAYING WHENEVER DIFFICULTY, TEMPTATION, OR TRIAL ARISES.

14 "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (NKJ)
