Magnificent Prayer #173
But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of.
2 Timothy 3:14
Apostasy begins in the closet. No man ever backslid from the life and power of Christianity who continued constant and fervent in private prayer.
ADAM CLARKE
Pray About It: We’ve all gone through times when our hearts seemed cold to the things of God. In such times, God’s invitation to “Come” is all the more pronounced. As we come to Him, our hearts are warmed once again. But if we ignore His call to us, we will grow all the colder. Temptations are less easily overcome. Cynicism moves in, along with his twin companion, doubt. From them, heartache and depression result. Don’t let the apostasy begin. Stay with God.
He who prays must wage a mighty warfare against the doubt and murmuring excited by the faintheartedness and unworthiness we feel with us.
MARTIN LUTHER
