60 ÁRDÍ S those who are strangers and even our enemies to the Mercy Seat in prayer, before we ask any favours for ourselves. We should pray for our Church, our denomination, our pastor, the missionaries, and the whole Christian church throughout the world. We should pray for the sick, the suffering, and the dying. We should pray for the destitute, the despondent, and despairing. Intercession is an evidence that we love not only God but also our fellow-man. A passion for souls should ever characterize the disciples of Jesus Christ. The least prominent part of our prayer life should be our petitions. Still we know that His Grace and Power are such that we can never ask too much. We should pray for ourselves and our great interests in life. We can never pray too frequently, or too fervently, for spiritual blessings. God is willing to bestow the maximum of these; and prayer opens the door that lets them in. God’s purposes along these lines are limitless; the only limit is the capacity of our own souls. In all petitions, we should remember to add “Thy will and not my will be done”. This, our Saviour taught us, both by His own example and in that great Prayer He gave us— “The Lord’s Prayer”. “Come, my soul, thy suit prepare; Jesus loves to answer prayer; He Himself has hid thee pray, Therefore will not say thee nay. Thou art coming to a King; Large petitions with thee hring; For His grace and power are such, None can ever ask too much. With my burden I begin; Lord! remove this load of sin; Let Thy Blood, for sinners spilt, Set my conscience free from guilt. Show me what I have to do, Every hour my strength renew; Let me live a life of faith, Let me die Thy people’s death. (CSB. 277)
