Praying with a Purpose

By: Wendy A Belanger

 

As we meet in the sanctuary each Sabbath after our meal  and have a season of prayer, we ask God to show us how to be about His business, how to reach the community and how to strengthen our members.

I ran across this in my reading this morning and it reminded me that God will lead the way, all things are possible through Him and He wants souls saved more than we do. We cannot lose the battle when it's God's battle to begin with. Blessings to all.

"The soul that is indolent falls an easy prey to temptation; but in the life that has a noble aim, and absorbing purpose, evil finds little foothold. The faith of him who is constantly advancing does not weaken; for above, beneath, beyond, he recognizes infinite love, working out all things to accomplish His good purpose. God's true servants work with a determination that will not fail because of the throne of grace is their constant dependence. God has provided divine assistance for all the emergencies to which our human resources are unequal. He gives the Holy Spirit to help in every state, to strengthen our hope and assurance, to illuminate our minds and purify our hearts. He provides opportunity and opens channels of working. If His people are watching the indications of His providence, and are ready to cooperate with Him, they will see mighty results."  PK 660.
