DAILY?READINGS: Deut. 25 to 26:15; Jonah 3-4; Luke 13:1-21
These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father.… John 17:1
Whether revealing the sublime meditations of His heart or during His agony in Gethsemane or day by day in His earthly ministry with His disciples, prayer was the watchword of all that the Lord Jesus said and did. We, also, as His followers, should seek to emulate Him in prayerful dependence every day. —Mark Fenn
Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath,
The Christian’s native air,
His watchword at the gates of death:
He enters heaven with prayer.
—James Montgomery
