Oct.06.04: Light for the Day - "He Should Pray
..."
-- James 5:13
Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray.
Is
anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise.
-- Psalms 145:18,19
"The LORD
is near to all who call upon Him,
To all who call upon Him in
truth.
19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;
He also
will hear their cry and save
them."
-------------------
You should never let adversity
get you down -
except on your knees.

A
young soldier fighting during World War II managed to jump into a foxhole
just ahead of a spray of bullets. He immediately attempted to deepen the
hole for more protection. As he was frantically scraping at the dirt with
his hands, he unearthed a silver crucifix, obviously left by a previous
occupant of the foxhole. A moment later, a leaping figure landed beside
him as shells screamed overhead. The soldier turned to see that this new
companion was an army chaplain. Holding up the crucifix, the soldier
cried, "Am I glad to see you! How do you work this thing?"
On a
more serious note, Captain Eddie Rickenbacker wrote about his World War II
experience. While flying on a special mission to the Pacific Islands, his
plane crashed. He and his crew were lost at sea for twenty-one days before
being rescued. He said, "In the beginning many of the men were atheists or
agnostics, but at the end of the terrible ordeal each, in his own way, had
discovered God. Each man found salvation and strength in prayer, and a
community of feeling developed which created a liveliness of human
fellowship and worship, and a sense of gentle peace."
Are you
facing a problem today? Start the search for its solution with
prayer.

Praising God is one of the highest and purest acts of
religion.
In prayer we act like men. In praise we act like
angels.
-- Thomas Watson
Actions in
heaven begin when someone prays on
earth.

Jeremiah 29:12,13

heart.”

express.

Let the word of Christ dwell in
you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as
you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts
to God.
