By Prayer and Supplication

“In everything by prayer and supplication ...” (Phil. 4:6).

When John Scudder, a missionary to India, was asked how he accounted for the fact that all his nine children also became missionaries, he replied: „The only explanation I can give is that the children were literally prayed into the kingdom by their mother. She was accustomed to spend the birthday of each child in all-day prayer for them, and God answered her prayers.“

Behold the Throne of Grace;
The promise calls us near,
To see our God and Father‘s face
Who loves to answer prayer.

J.N.
