To rejoice in the midst of trial is health to the soul.
"Pray without ceasing." 1 Thess. 5:17. "Continue in prayer, and watch in
the same with thanksgiving." Col. 4:2. "Praying always with all prayer and
supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance
and supplication for all saints." Eph. 6:18. If you value peace and
prosperity of soul, you will not neglect to pray. It is prayer that keeps
us up above the clouds and brings heaven down. He who does not pray at all
is not a Christian, and he who does not pray much is not much of a
Christian. It is not those who have plenty of time to pray that do the
most praying, but they who take the time. Let there be some prayer every
day.
"Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind
let each esteem others better than themselves." Phil. 2:3. This should be
the experience of your heart every day. When we are lowly, we see our own
faults and imperfections and our brother's virtues; therefore we look upon
him as better than ourselves. It seems to us that others are more humble
than we are, and have more faith and love God more than we do.
