The Power of Prayer
“LIFE is a warfare, Christian; be strong and of a good courage. There are no blessings to soldiers who are cowards.”
Never, be ashamed to pray. God answers prayer. A friend, R.M.H., writes: — “Heaven must be taken by storm. A man must be a soldier to do it; but any fool can go to hell.”
Let it be your earnest endeavor to fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, driving back the devil’s outposts, and taking heaven by storm.
“God over all, blessed for evermore.”
Echo the words above the cannons’ roar;
God over all, to stay the deadly strife,
Healing the wounded and preserving life;
To comfort all who mourn, in sore distress,
Their loved ones gone — wrecked homes and loneliness.
Our strong Defender ‘till the strife is o’er―
“God over all, blessed for evermore.”
