The Power of Prayer

Five young college students were spending a Sunday in London,  so they went to hear the famed C.H. Spurgeon preach.  While waiting for the doors to open, the students were greeted by a man who asked.

“Gentlemen,  let  me show you around.  Would you like to see the heating plant of this church?”  They were not particularly interested, for it was a hot day in July.  But they didn’t want to offend the stranger, so they consented.  The young men were taken down a stairway,  a door was quietly opened and their guide whispered , “This is our heating plant.”

Surprised, the students saw 700 people bowed in prayer , seeking a blessing on the service that was soon to begin in the auditorium above.  Softly closing the door,  the gentleman then introduced himself.  It was none other than Charles Spurgeon.

 Food for thought.  As Christians we know how important prayer is in our lives.

At this time of lent we may give up something,  something that we would miss  but we can also give something back to our blessed saviour for His great sacrifice.     Maybe during this time of lent, we could aim to be nicer to everyone, be as kind and compassionate as Jesus taught us to be,  visiting those who are lonely, or,  we could take time to reflect on our own prayer lives,  and  speak to the Lord through prayer more often than we already do, strengthening our own faith journeys as we walk even closer to God.

 Lord,

Be Thou within me, to strengthen me;
Without me, to keep me;
Above me to protect me;
Beneath me, to uphold me;
Before me, to direct me;
Behind me, to keep me from straying;
Round about me, to defend me.
Blessed be Thou, O Lord, our Father,
For ever and ever,

Amen

Lancelot Andrewes (1555- 1626
