DEPTHS OF PRAYER

HH, Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div

“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much!” James 5:16

In prayer, I must . . .
wrestle like Jacob,
and pants like David,
and hope like Elijah,
and be persistent like Bartimeus,
and cry with tears like my blessed Lord!

Prayer must be of the right sort:
very humble
very expectant
very persevering.

Lord, teach me to pray!
