PRAYER THOUGHT:  Read what Charles H. Spurgeon said about prayer:

"Whether we like it or not, asking is the rule of the kingdom.  'Ask, and ye shall receive.'*  It is a rule that never will be altered in anybody's case  Our Lord Jesus Christ is the elder brother of the family, but God has not relaxed the rule for Him.  Remember this text:  Jehovah says to His own Son, 'Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.'+  If the royal and divine Son of God cannot be exempted from the rule of asking that He may have, you and I cannot expect the rule to be relaxed in our favor.  Why should it be?  What reason can be pleaded why we should be exempted from prayer?  What argument can there be why we should be deprived of the privilege and delivered from the necessity of supplication?  I can see none, can you?  God will bless Elijah and send rain on Israel, but Elijah must pray for it.  If the chosen nation is to prosper, Samuel must plead for it.  If the Jews are to be delivered, Daniel must intercede.  God will bless Paul, and the nations shall be converted through him, but Paul must pray.  Pray he did without ceasing; his epistles show that he expected nothing except by asking for it.  If you may have everything by asking, and nothing without asking, I beg you to see how absolutely vital prayer is, and I beseech you to abound in it."
* Matthew 7:7    + Psalm 2:8

I chose to give you this quote from Power Through  Prayer, by E. M. Bounds.  It says what needs to be said.
