We think rightly or wrongly about prayer according to the conception we have in our minds of prayer. If we think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts, we think rightly. The blood flows ceaselessly, and breathing continues ceaselessly; we are not concious of it, but it is always going on. We are not always concious of Jesus keeping us in perfect joint with God, but if we are obeying Him, He always is. Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life. Beware of anything that stops prayer. "Pray without ceasing," keep the childlike habit of prayer in your heart to God all the time. Jesus never mentioned unanswered prayer, He had the boudless certainly that prayer is always answered. Have we by the Spirit the unspeakable certainly that Jesus had about prayer, or do we think of the times when God does not seem to have answered prayer? "Every one that asketh receiveth." We say - "But..., but..." God answers prayer in the best way, not sometimes, but every time, although the immediate manifestation of the answer in the domain in which we want it may not always follow. God answers prayer and prayer does change things. groups.yahoo.com/group/PreciousOnes/
