The Prayer Life [Annotated, Updated]: Persevering in Prayer

by Andrew Murray

A child can ask his father for bread. A fully grown son discusses with him about all the interests of his business and about his further purposes. A weak child of God prays only for himself, but a fully grown person in Christ understands how to consult with God over what must take place in the kingdom. Let your prayer list bear the names of those for whom you pray, including your minister, all other ministers, and the different missionary concerns with which you are connected. The inner chamber will really become a wonder of God’s goodness and a fountain of great joy. It will become the most blessed place on earth.
