Lord, teach us to pray. . . And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
Luke 11:1-2
God is ever true to His promises. 1 Cor. 1:9
(Springs in the Valley Mrs Chas Cowman)
God puts Himself within our reach in His promises; and when we can say to Him, "Thou saidest," He cannot say nay-- He must do as He said. In prayer, be sure to get your feet on a promise; it will give you purchase enough to force open the gates of heaven and to take it by force! When once you can lay hold of a promise, you have a leverage with God which enables you to count upon the fulfillment of your petition. God cannnt go back from His plighted word.--FB Meyer
"God could no more disappoint faith then He could deny Himself."
A friend gives me a checque which reads: "Pay to the order of CH Spurgeon the sum of 10 pounds." His name is good and his bank is good, but i get nothing from his kindness until I put my own name on the back of the checque. It is a very simple act bu7t the signature cannot be dispensed with. There are many nobler names then mine, but none of these can be used instead of my own. If I wrote the Queen's name it would not avail me...I must affix my own name.
Even so, each one must personally accept, adopt and endorse the promises of God by his own individual faith, or he will derive no benefit from it. If you were to write Miltonic lines in honor of the bank or exceed Tennyson in verses in praise of the generous benefactor it would avail nothing. The simple self-written name is demanded , and nothing will be accepted instead of it. We MUST believe the promise , each one for himself, and declare that we know it to be true, or it will bring us no blessing.--CH Spurgeon
God is always greater then His promises; He does not only fulfil His promises, He over-fulfils them."Eph 3:20
Upon Thy word I rest
Each pilgrim day;
This golden staff is best
For all the way.
What Jesus Christ has spoken
Cannot be broken!
Upon thy word I rest,
So strong so sure!
So full of comfort blest,
So sweet, so pure!
The charter of salvation,
Faith's broad foundation.
Upon Thy word I stand,
That cannot die;
Christ seals it in my hand,
He cannot lie!
Thy word that faileth never,
Abideth ever,
Frances Ridley Havergal

Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the One who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference.
