Prevailing Prayer: What Hinders It?
Moody, Dwight Lyman
Christian life; Prayer -- Christianity
“It was a hard struggle indeed to give up smoking. But God in His
great wisdom, knew that I must have come to grief if I had to fight
single-handed against the overwhelming desire I had for drink; and He
took that desire, too, clean away. From that day to this the Lord has
kept me away from drink, and made me hate it most bitterly. I simply
said that I had not any strength; nor have I now; but it is the Lord
Jesus who ‘is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto
God by Him.’
“If there is any one hearing me who has given up all hope, come to the
Savior! That is His name, for ‘He shall save His people from their
sins.’ Wherever I have gone, since then, I have found Him to be my
Savior. God forbid that I should glory! It would be glorying in my
shame. It is to my shame that I speak thus of myself; but oh, the
Savior is able to save, and He will save!
“Christian friends, continue to pray. You may go to heaven before your
sons are brought home. My parents did; and my sisters prayed for me for
years and years. But now I can help others on their way to Zion. Praise
the Lord for all His mercy to me!
“Remember, ‘with God all things are possible.’ And then you may say
like St. Paul, ‘I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth
me.’”
“Look Up.”
“O soul most desolate, look up! For thee
One faithful voice doth promise sure relief.
Whate’er thy sin, whate’er thy sorrow be,
Tell all to Jesus. He looketh where
The weary-hearted weep, and draweth near
To listen fondly to the half-formed prayer,
Or read the silent pleading of a tear.
Lose not thy privilege, O silent soul;
Pour out thy sorrow at thy Savior’s feet.
What outcast spurns the hand that gives the dole?
Oh, let Him hear thy voice; to Him thy voice is sweet.”

This new work by Mr. Moody is in the line of his most successful
efforts, that of stirring Christians to active, personal, aggressive
work for the Master. Mr. Moody has frequently been heard to say that
it was much better to set 100 men to work than to do the work of 100
men. This little volume will we confidently believe be a means of
inspiring not hundreds, but _thousands_ to more efficient effort in
Christian life.
