great
things and difficult, which thou knowest not."=--JER. xxxiii. 3.

="Thus saith the Lord God: I will yet be inquired of, that I do
it."=--EZEK. xxxvi. 37.

Both texts refer to promises definitely made, but their fulfilment would
depend upon prayer: God would be inquired of to do it.

Pray for God's fulfilment of His promises to His Son and His Church, and
expect the answer. Plead for the heathen: plead God's Promises.

HOW TO PRAY.--With the Intercession of the Holy Spirit

="We know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit Himself maketh

viii. 26.

In your ignorance and feebleness believe in the secret indwelling and
intercession of the Holy Spirit within you. Yield yourself to His life
and leading habitually. He will help your infirmities in prayer. Plead
the promises of God even where you do not see how they are to be
