ift anew in faith. Let each thought of feebleness or
shortcoming only make you the more urgent in prayer for others; as the
blessing comes to them, you too will be helped. With every prayer for
conversions or mission work, pray that God's people may know how wholly
they belong to Him.

TWENTY-EIGHTH DAY
WHAT TO PRAY.--That all God's People may know the Holy Spirit
="The Spirit of truth, whom the world knoweth not; but ye know Him;
for He abideth with you, and shall be in you."=--JOHN xiv. 17.
="Know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Ghost?"=--1
COR. vi. 19.
The Holy Spirit is the power of God for the salvation of men. He only
works as He dwells in the Church. He is given to enable believers to
live wholly as God would have them live, in the full experience and
witness of Him who saves completely. Pray God that every one of His
people may know the Holy Spirit!--That He, in all His fulness, is given
to them! that they cannot expect to live as their Father would have,
without having Him in His fulness, without being filled with Him! Pray
that all God's people, even away in churches gathered out of heathendom,
may learn to say: I believe in the Holy Ghost.
HOW TO PRAY.--Labouring fervently in Prayer
="Epaphras, who is one of you, saluteth you, always labouring
fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete
in all the will of God."=--COL. iv. 12.
To a healthy man labour is a delight; in what interests him he labours
fervently. The believer who is in full health, whose heart is filled
with God's Spirit, labours fervently in prayer. For what? That his
brethren may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God; that
they may know what God wills for them, how He calls them to live, and be
led and walk by the Holy Ghost. Labour fervently in prayer that all
God's children may know this, as possible, as divinely sure.
