it and of prayer. It is a
Spirit-filled, praying Church will send out Spirit-filled missionaries,
mighty in prayer.
HOW TO PRAY.--Take Time
="I give myself unto prayer."=--PS. cix. 4.
="We will give ourselves continually to prayer."=--ACTS vi. 4.
="Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to
utter anything before God."=--ECCLES. v. 2.
="And He continued all night in prayer to God."=--LUKE vi. 12.
Time is one of the chief standards of value. The time we give is a proof
of the interest we feel.
We need time with God--to realise His presence; to wait for Him to make
Himself known; to consider and feel the needs we plead for; to take our
place in Christ; to pray till we can believe that we have received. Take
time in prayer, and pray down blessing on the mission work of the
Church.

TENTH DAY
WHAT TO PRAY.--For God's Spirit on our Missionaries
"What the world needs to-day is, not only more missionaries, but the
outpouring of God's Spirit on everyone whom He has sent out to work
for Him in the foreign field."
="Ye shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and
ye shall be My witnesses unto the uttermost parts of the
earth."=--ACTS i. 8.
God always gives His servants power equal to the work He asks of them.
Think of the greatness and difficulty of this work,--casting out Satan
out of his strongholds,--and pray that everyone who takes part in it may
receive and do all his work in the power of the Holy Ghost. Think of the
difficulties of your missionaries, and pray for them.
HOW TO PRAY.--Trusting God's Faithfulness
="He is faithful that promised." "She counted Him faithful who
promised."=--HEB. x. 23, xi. 11.
Just think of God's promises to His Son, concerning His kingdom; to the
Church, concerning the heathen; to His servants, concerning their work;
to yourself, concerning your prayer; and pray in the assurance that He
is faithful,
