PRAYER: POWER FOR TREASURES OF GOOD

God commits Himself to people. Praying people do His work and carry out His plans.
Yet people in general, have quit praying. They are too busy to pray. Time and strength and every faculty are given over to money, to business, to the affairs of the world. Few people expend themselves in great praying. The great business of praying is a hurried, petty, starved, beggarly business with most people.
Better praying and more of it, that is what we need. We need holier men and more of them, holier women, and more of them to pray. We are obliged to pray if we are citizens of God's kingdom.
The Apostle Paul, Martin Luther, John Wesley; what would these chosen men be without the element of prayer? They were leaders for God because they were mighty in prayer.
Praying men means more than men who pray by habit. It means men with whom prayer is a mighty force, and energy that moves heaven and pours untold treasures of good on earth.
