Effective Praying Lesson for February 12, 195# WHEN most people think of prayer they think of only one kind though there are several. The word "prayer” suggests ask ing for something; though it ought to suggest thankfulness, confession of sin, aspiration, trust. But leaving all these other kinds of prayer out of account, what a wonderful thing pr; ‘ ! If I could go to a mil- 1 lionaire once a year and ask him for anything I wanted; or if I could have an in- terview with the most famous per- son in the world with the privilege of asking one fa vor, —how dizzy I Dr. Foreman would be at the pleasure of the prospect! Yet God has more treas ure than a millionaire, and the fame of -the most renowned men is nothing compared to his glory. It is such a God to whom I can take my desires and requests, ev ery day, every night of the year. It Is only because prayer Is so 'free that we take it for granted and fail to appreciate it. We might value the opportunity more if we had to pay well for it. * Wirthmore Feeds * Haverly Bulk Tanks * Sander Loaders * Anhydrous Ammonia -Wheel A-Way Egg Washers •'lrrigation Equipment DeKalb Chix & Started Pullets Marietta 6-9301 BART’S Outlook for February 1956 HIEDtCTtO \ TEMWHATUBE FEIHI7ARY If 6 I The Weather Bureau’s 30-day outlook for February calls for temperatures to average below seasonal normals in most of the coun try west ofv the Mississippi, with greatest departures in the Great Plains. In the east ern third of the nation temperatures are In a way, prayer does have a price. That is to say, if prayer is to be effective, certain condi tions have to be met. Jesus told some stones which bring out what these conditions are. One is the tale of two men who went into the same temple to pray. One was an old hand at it, —if there was a “praying class” of Jews (corre sponding to a woiking class, or a professional class) in those days, he was a prominent member of it. The other man had perhaps very seldom prayed The first man was a regular contributor to his church: the other man—if he was like the average m his profession —seldom daikened the door of a place of worship. But in Jesus’ story these two men found them selves side by side in the same temple, and only one was “just fled,” that is to say, only one go favorable attention fiom God And that one was the man who had nothing to say but “God, be merci ful to me a sinner.” To ask God for this and for that, as if we de served it, as if it were our right to demand gifts from God, —this is no way to pray. Effective pray er begins, with confession and re pentance, not with demands. Not to the Proud Let us make a short list of some differences between wiong prayer and ijight prayer. Wrong prayer is really talking to oneself, or talk ing so as to be overheard by some one we want to impress. Right prayer Is addressed to God alone. Wrong prayer is proud; right grayer is humble. Wrong prayer wants God to support the pude of the prayer. Right prayer casts pride away and comes to God without a claim. In wrong pray er, I come to God asking him to do something for me which will give me a better reason than I now have for being proud of my self. In right prayer, X come to God asking him to cleanse me of the pride which makes me feel that God himself is hardly neces sary. In wrong prayer, the one who prays rises from his knees just as he was, for he has no wish to be changed; in right prayer, the one who prays rises a better man, for he asked God to forgive and change v him.’ Keeping at It Jesus seldom if ever tried to put all the truth into one parable He was generally content with setting out one truth at a time. So the parable of the bothersome widow, the woman who finally wore out a stubborn and selfish judge just by keeping after him, —that par able does not say everything about prayer. But It does teach one thing; Keep at it' Jesus is care ful not to say that God is anything like that judge. What he does mean is that if even a bad char acter like that judge can be moved to do the light thing by a persis tent woman, surely God our Fa ther, in heaven, who is neither lazy nor stubborn nor ill-willed, will listen to persistent prayer. We must be careful not to read into this parable mere than Jesus said. There is no promise here that God counts the number of times we pray for a thing, and that if we only pray enough times he will be sure to answer. There is no guar antee that God will answer any prayer we can think of if we say it often enough. What Jesus prom ises is that God will bring justice at last ... if we keep on want ing it.
