Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional By REV. FRANCIS FORD Putor, Jenkinsburg United Methodist Charge For the next four weeks, I’d like for us to think about Prayer. Regardless of how strong or weak a man’s faith may be, everyone prays. Some people may not be ready to admit it, but we all pray at some time or another, for one reason or another. To day, let’s think about PRAYER AND THE HUMAN SITUATION. In the Book of Jeremiah, God talks about prayer. He says “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” What kind of statement is this that God is making? One that He cannot keep? One that He is not interested in keeping? Or is it a promise that God is vitally in terested in you and me? One of the real hang-ups you and I often have in prayer is being able to believe that God will answer prayer. Most all of us believe that God can answer prayer, but deep in our hearts we silently wonder if God cares enough about us to answer prayer. We somehow picture God as being far off and not too con cerned about what is going on in our personal lives. But God’s own words that He spoke in Jeremiah remind us that He is not a God that dwells on the Borders of Life; but that He is a God that dwells in the Center of our Lives. He is a God that involves Him self in the midst of the human situations we find ourselves in and He cares enough about us, not to leave us alone in these situations. He calls us to come and meet Him in the midst of prayer. For He promises that as we call upon Him, He will an swer. James Montgomery wrote a poem called “What is Prayer?” Here’s what he says: Prayer is the soul’s sincere de sire, uttered or unexpressed; the motion of a hidden fire, that trembles in the breast. Prayer is the burden of a sigh, the falling of a tear; the upward glancing of an eye, when none but God is near. Prayer is the contrite sin ner’s voice, returning from his ways; while angels in their songs rejoice, and cry “Behold, he prays.” •g'M * SCVt r, BUT i/E OUT SV.Og \6 C*NDY C6A2E77ES. |88& SOT ANY" CHOCOLATE. .v.v*W.V.V.W.V.V.%V.VsV.V.V.%VsV.Y.V.% foimj poescoiptum- w OH _ai .A- '.4 ~ |T . , r- JACrs.IN ‘ • Urug Lo.

As you gaze at this scene of snow, ice, and leafless trees, your mind may skip ahead and picture green grass, abundant foliage, and a rippling stream. The very thought brings happi ness. Spring makes the difference. As grass, trees, and streams are fettered by winter, so some lives are bound by doubt, unbelief, lack of faith, and false ideas. "When they come in contact with the Church, the love of God sets them free. They see new beauty in everything about them, and others see new beauty in their lives. As spring brings all nature to new life, so God’s love makes human beings hap pier, gives them life more abundant. No matter how strong the fetters which bind you, freedom can be yours through the Church and the message it brings to all. Why not accept that freedom today?
