What the Lord Requires:
The Book of MICAH
Chapter 6:6-8 {RSV}
"8 He has shown you, O man, what is good;
and what does the LORD
require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your
God?"

The Nature of Prayer?The divine injunction given through inspiration of the blessed Holy Spirit Pray without ceasing? (1 Thess. 5:17) at once conveys the idea of the necessity and importance, together with the great value of prayer. The Hebrew for Prayer means appeal and intercession, while the Greek conveys the idea of spiritual approach to God. The Word informs us to pray for the things we need (Matt. 6:11?3). Prayer worthwhile, successful prayer, makes approach close enough to God, our heavenly Father, through His Son, Jesus, that one may appeal in his own behalf and in behalf of others for those things of which there is real need.
Millions of prayers have ascended from lips of clay, or, rather, we may say, have been offered. The question arises how many of these prayers have been answered? We are no doubt safe in saying that a great many of these prayers never reached the throne with force enough and appeal enough to bring a reply. This being true we may well ask why.
One answer may be that while prayer is a real privilege, too many, yes, all too many, look upon it as a real burden. Again some, if each and every prayer is not answered, and answered at once, feel like one stunned by a mighty blow, and from that time on pray no more with expectation.
The fact of it is we are all, every one of us, but pupils in the school of prayer. Like the early disciples we need to implore, Lord, teach us to pray?(Luke 11:1). Too many of us would attempt at once to realize faith sufficient for every problem, present and future. But the great Teacher desires His trusting, faithful pupils to master the problems as they come. Here is an example of an unforeseen problem, in the solution of which prayer availed: Some missionaries were set upon and surrounded by a howling mob who were crying for their blood because, as they said, no rain will come till such time as foreign blood is spilled.? Then it was that the missionaries knelt and earnestly prayed, and scarcely had they risen from their knees when the clouds blackened and lowered, and the storm broke in fury upon the mob, dispersing them and the missionaries were spared.
Pray without ceasing surely means never to get out of the habit of prayer, but rather to keep at it and at it and at it. We ought always to pray.(Luke 18:1).
Prayer is the stepping-stone to victory...
