the universe. We may speak with Jesus as we walk by the way, and He
says, I am at thy right hand.
Every Sincere Prayer Answered
We may commune with God in our hearts; we may walk in com-
panionship with Christ. When engaged in our daily labor, we may
breathe out our heart’s desire, inaudible to any human ear; but that
word cannot die away into silence, nor can it be lost. Nothing can
drown the soul’s desire. It rises above the din of the street, above the
noise of machinery. It is God to whom we are speaking, and our prayer
is heard.
Ask, then; ask, and ye shall receive. Ask for humility, wisdom,
courage, increase of faith. To every sincere prayer an answer will
come. It may not come just as you desire, or at the time you look for
it; but it will come in the way and at the time that will best meet your
need. The prayers you offer in loneliness, in weariness, in trial, God
answers, not always according to your expectations, but always for
your good.—
