Whole Heart
="The Lord grant thee according to thine own heart."=--PS. xx. 4.
="Thou hast given him his heart's desire."=--PS. xxi. 2.
="I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord."=--PS. cxix. 145.
God lives, and listens to every petition with His whole heart. Each time
we pray the whole Infinite God is there to hear. He asks that in each
prayer the whole man shall be there too; that we shall cry with our
whole heart. Christ gave Himself to God for men; and so He takes up
every need into His intercession. If once we seek God with our whole
heart, the whole heart will be in every prayer with which we come to
this God. Pray with your whole heart for the young.

FIFTEENTH DAY
WHAT TO PRAY.--For Schools and Colleges
="As for Me, this is My covenant with them, saith the Lord: My
Spirit that is upon thee, and My words which I have put in thy
mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of
thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord,
from henceforth and for ever."=--ISA. lix. 21.
The future of the Church and the world depends, to an extent we little
conceive, on the education of the day. The Church may be seeking to
evangelise the heathen, and be giving up her own children to secular and
materialistic influences. Pray for schools and colleges, and that the
Church may realise and fulfil its momentous duty of caring for its
children. Pray for godly teachers.
HOW TO PRAY.--Not Limiting God
="They limited the Holy One of Israel."=--PS. lxxviii. 41.
="He did not many mighty works there because of their
unbelief."=--MATT. xiii. 58.
="Is anything too hard for the Lord?"=--GEN. xviii. 14.
="Ah, Lord God! Thou hast made the heaven and the earth by Thy great
power; there is nothing too hard for Thee. Behold, I am the Lord: is
there anything too hard for Me?"=--JER. xxxii. 17, 27.
Beware, in your prayer, above everything, of limiting G
