Every member of a body is interested in the welfare of the whole, and exists to help and complete the others. Believers are one body, and ought to pray, not so much for the welfare of their own church or society, but, first of all, for all saints. This large, unselfish love is the proof that Christ's Spirit and Love is teaching them to pray. Pray first for all and then for the believers around you. HOW TO PRAY.--In the Love of the Spirit ="By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another."=--JOHN xiii. 35. ="I pray that they all may be one, that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me."=--JOHN xvii. 21. ="I beseech you, brethren, by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me."=--ROM. xv. 30. ="Above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves."=--1 PET. iv. 8. If we are to pray we must love. Let us say to God we do love all His saints; let us say we love specially every child of His we know. Let us pray with fervent love, in the love of the Spirit.

His people is a holy people. He speaks: I am holy: I am the Lord which make you holy. Christ prayed: Sanctify them. Make them holy through =Thy Truth=. Paul prayed: "God establish your hearts unblamable in holiness." "God sanctify you wholly!" Pray for all saints--God's holy ones--throughout the Church, that the Spirit of holiness may rule them. Specially for new converts. For the saints in your own neighbourhood or congregation. For any you are specially interested in. Think of their special need, weakness, or sin, and pray that God may make them holy. HOW TO PRAY.--Trusting in God's Omnipotence The things that are impossible with men are possible with God. When we think of the great things we ask for, of how little likelihood there is of their coming, of our own insignificance. Prayer is not only wishing, or asking, but believing and accepting. Be still before God and ask Him to give you to know Him as the Almighty One, and leave your petitions with Him who doeth wonders.
