Prayer.

WE are told, “In Everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God.” Phil. 4:66Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. (Philippians 4:6).
We see in the history of good king Hezekiah, in Isaiah chapters 36, 37, how the Lord helped him when he came to Him in prayer. When he received that terrible letter from the king of Assyria, he went straight into the house of the Lord, that is, the temple, and spread it out before Him.
There is no temple now to go to, but God loves to hear His children tell Him in simplicity all they need. The Lord Jesus said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it you.” John 16:2323And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. (John 16:23).
O, what joys we often forfeit!
O, what needless griefs we bear!
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.
