But, has that professed follower of
Jesus ever prayed for bim3, Does he
pray for himselll if he has in truth
been horn of God--if he is indeed
the Saviour's own, he cannot live with
out prayer, he would sooner do with
out his daily . bread, sooner than lose

God—sooner than lose-these moments
of communion with his Maker : which
