  Prayers pleasing to God need not be lengthy and must not be filled with “vain repetitions”. The Lord taught His disciples to avoid this common error of the Pharisees who, He said, use “vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking” (Matt. 6:7). The efficacy in prayer is not dependent on the number of words used, or the eloquence of the speaker who chooses them. One of the most poignant and impressive prayers in the Bible has in it only two words! David, facing formidable enemies, deeply troubled, uncertain what course would be best for him to follow and fully aware of his own inability to resolve his problems, cried out, “Help, Lord” (Psa. 12:1). This was no time for speech-making to God! All who face trials in life—and eventually all do—can fully empathize with the embattled Psalmist, and recall those painful occasions when in turning to the Lord, there was the sobering realization that there was no one else to whom to turn. The Bible abounds with these wonderful and precious assurances to the faithful. “All things work together for good to them that love God” (Rom. 8:28). “As thy day is, so shall thy strength be” (Deut. 33:25). “My grace is sufficient for thee” (2 Cor. 12:9). When sin-stricken, burdened, and weary, From bondage I longed to be free, There came to my heart the sweet message: “My grace is sufficient for thee”. Though tempted and sadly discouraged, My soul to this refuge will flee, And rest in the blessed assurance: “My grace is sufficient for thee”. ***

  • Is attending Bible class on Sunday morning and Wednesday evening important? Is it just an old tradition that is hanging on? Some, it seems, don’t think that Bible study is important and they choose not to attend. Years ago, we used to hear the expression, “As goes the Bible School,…
