This is the\r\nbridge that spans every gulf and bears me over every abyss of danger or of need.\r\nHow significant the picture of the Apostolic Church: Peter in\r\nprison, the Jews triumphant Herod supreme the arena of martyrdom awaiting the dawning of the morning to drink up the apostle's\r\nblood, and everything else against it \"But prayer was made unto God without ceasing. \" And what was the sequel? The prison open, the\r\napostle free, the Jews baffled, the wicked king eaten of worms, a spectacle of hidden retribution, and the Word of God rolling on in greater victory.\r\nDo we know the power of our supernatural weapon? Do we dare to use it with the authority of a faith that commands as well as asks? God\r\nbaptize us with holy audacity and Divine confidence! He Is not\r\nwanting great men, but He is wanting men who win dare to prove the\r\ngreatness of their God. But God! But prayer! --A. B. Simpson.\r\nBeware In your prayer, above everything, of limiting God, not only  by unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do. Expect unexpected things, above all that we ask or think. Each time you\r\nintercede, be quiet first and worship God in His glory. Think of\r\nwhat He can do, of how He delights to hear Christ, of your place in Christ, and expect great things. --Andrew Murray.\r\nOur prayers are God's opportunities.\r\nAre you in son-ow? Prayer can make your affliction sweet and\r\nstrengthening. Are you in gladness? Prayer can add to your joy a\r\ncelestial perfume. Are you in extreme danger from outward or Inward enemies? Prayer can set at your right hand an angel whose touch\r\ncould shatter a millstone into smaller dust than the flour it\r\ngrinds, and whose glance could lay an army low. What will prayer do for you? I answer: All that God can do for you. \"Ask what I shall\r\ngive thee.\" --Farrar.\r\nWrestling prayer can wonders do, Bring relief in deepest straits;\r\nPrayer can force a passage through Iron bars and brazen gates.",1783499793998]
