Invitation to Pray
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
(Jeremiah 33:3)
God encourages us to pray. They tell us that prayer is a pious exercise that has no influence except
upon the mind engaged in it. We know better. Our experience gives the lie a thousand times over to
this infidel assertion. Here Jehovah, the living God, distinctly promises to answer the prayer of His
servant. Let us call upon Him again and admit no doubt upon the question of His hearing us and
answering us. He that made the ear, shall He not hear? He that gave parents love to their children,
will He not listen to the cries of His own sons and daughters!
God will answer His pleading people in their anguish. He has wonders in store for them. What they
have never seen, heard of, or dreamed of, He will do for them. He will invent new blessings if needed.
He will ransack sea and land to feed them: He will send every angel out of heaven to succor them if
their distress requires it. He will astound us with His grace and make us feel that it was never before
done in this fashion. All He asks of us is that we will call upon Him. He cannot ask less of us. Let us
cheerfully render Him our prayers at once.
