Encouragement in Prayer


Encouragement in Prayer May the following quote by Octavius Winslow be an encouragement to you in prayer.


And all things, whatever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive. Matthew 21:22


Draw near, then, seeking soul, with boldness; Draw near with the lowly boldness of a child–with the humble confidence of a son. Dear are you to your Father. Sweet is your voice to Him. Precious is your person, accepted in His Beloved. You cannot come too boldly–you cannot come too frequently–you cannot come with too large requests. You are coming to a King, that King your Father, that Father viewing you in His beloved Son. Oh, hang not back. Stand not afar off. He now holds out the golden scepter, and says, “Come near; what is your request? Come with your temporal want. Come with your spiritual need. Ask what you will, it shall be granted you. I have an open hand, and a large heart.”
