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.
