PRAYING IN A CRISIS
Memory Selection: "O Lord
hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord,
hearken and do: defer not. for
thine own sake, O my (Jod: for
thy city and thy people are called
by thy name."
(Daniel 9:19)
Lesson Text: Daniel 9:1-23.
Today our Lesson lies in the
Book of Daniel ... a man of God
who was not afraid to face trial
and tribulation and even dan-
Daniel, like Christ in GetJisem
ne, ws sustained in hours of cri
sis by' tho strength ho derived
from communion with the Cre
ator. In this Lesson we study the un
derlying motivations of his pray
er of intercession, and we, ae in
dividuals and professed Chris
tians, can learn much from this
study.
In the first place we cannot
'.clp hut be impressed by the un
selfishness delineated in Daniel's
prayer, for, if we are completely
honest with ourselves we must ad
mit that praying, in a crisis, to
us, invariably stems from self-interest!
True, we may be praying
.or tho sparing of a Inw.l one's
life . . . but, are we not (hiisic
illy) praying for deliverance
from sorrow for ourselves? .Just
is we grieve the death of a be
loved are we not grieving f()r
ourselves . . . and our personal
loss? (!f we truly believe our
'nvod one has gone to a better
ii'e, free from pain and sorrow,
hv should we not rejoice?) Hut
; . & human naiure being What it
is, in such circumstances our loss
is deeply personal, and our sor
row and sense of bereavement
equally sol
Be that as it may, Daniel was
a man of great stature and com
passion. Humility was tho key
note of his approach to God in
supplication, and that supplica
tion contained confessions of sins
and shortcomings; recognition of
the greatness of God was freely
confessed; so, also, was an af
firmation of faithfulness, and a
basic, motivating love of God the
Creator.
Sincerity was the keynote; and
humility! Perhaps one of the
most moving passages in the en
tire prayer is as follows "We do
not present our supplications be
fore thee for our righteousness,
but for thy great mercies ..."
All truly Christian prayer puts
the Will and the glory of God at
tho center of that prayer, and this
is especially true of prayers of
intercession. Consciousness of
God's infinite mercy, of His love
for mankind, is the core of Dan
iel's prayer, and of this in our

moments of personal communion
we should ever be aware.
In times of crisis personal
and otherwise man becomes
acutely aware of his need of God.
And perhaps that is the greatest
compliment that one can pay our
Creator! When things are going
right for us, we tend to take so
many blessings for granted . . .
a very human failing! Hut when
things are going wrong, then we
seek a Strength beyond (III;
strength; a Love beyond 01' K ca
pacities; an understanding behind
OUR understanding.
In prayer we become closer to
God for prayer magnifies the
Lord. And prayer asserts, tacitly,
the faith of the individual IN
God! With humility, and a wil
lingness to subject one's wishes
to the will of God, it asserts faith
in God's over-all purpose for man.
It declares faith and confidence
in the character and purpose of
God. In prayer, indeed, is dem
onstrated the harmony that ex
ists between God and mankind.
In approaching the Lord in
prayer we should pray for under
standing of God's will in crises . .
not deliverance from them. For
only by acceptance of (kid's will,
will we grow to be strong and1
worthy of Hia bounty, and be ac
ceptable in His sight. Let us
pray to this end!

THE FAITH OP JESUS CHRIST
"... the righteausness of God
. . . by the faith of JetAis Christ,
unto all and upon all them that
believe" (Runu&22)--
Note, the Apostle Paul here
does not refer to faith IN Christ,
but the faith OF Christ. Nor does
he refer to what Christ believed,
but rather to His worthiness to
iBE believed, His fidelity.
We must not forget that faith
is a reciprocal matter; it is two-
sided. One is objective: it believes
in another. The other is subject
ive: it is a trustworthy character.
rme reiers to what a person
!XfcJH; the other to what be IS.
If I have faith in you (objective
ly) you should keep faith with
me (be trustworthy, subjective-
iy).
Seven times in St. Paul's epis
tles he refers to "THE FAITH
OF CHRIST" and each time his
purpose is to emphasize our Lord's
worthiness of our complete con
fidence. That he does not refer
to OUR faith IN Christ is evi
dent on the surface. In the pas
sage above he declares that the
righteousness of God, which is
"by the faith OF Christ," is con
ferred "UPON ALL OF THEM
THAT BELIEVE" (Here's your
faith in Him).
Similarity, in Gal. 3:22 he states
that "The Scripture hath conclud
ed all under sin, that the promise,
by the faith of Jesus Christ might
be given to THEM THAT BE
LIEVE." Here again, we believe,
because He is worthy of our con
fidence.
Again in Phil. 3:9, the apostle
expresses his desire for a right
eousness not of his own, "but that
which is through the faith of
Christ" and then adds: "the
righteousness which is of God BY
FAITH." Here's man faith again!
He has faith in Christ because
Christ is completely faithful, com
pletely worthy to be believed In.
He paid the FULL penalty for our
tins and is now in heaven dis
pensing the merits of Calvary
riches of grace, mercy and ' for
giveness.
But remember, "the faith' of
Christ" always precedes our faith
IN Christ. What good would It
do to believe in Him for salvation
if Ho were not wholly to be re
lied opon for this 7 But He CAN
be trusted "to save unto the 'ut
termost all who come unto God by
Him (Heb. 7:25). This Is why
Paul could say to the terrified
jailor at Philippi:. "BELIEVE ON
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND
THOU SHALT BE i SAVED"

The percentage of Americans
65 and over enrolled in the "doc
tor bill insurance part of Medi
care went up from 92 to 95 per
cent during the 6-month open en
rollment period that ended April
1, James E. Robertson, Social Se
curity district manager, stated.
"Almost 700,000 older people
who had missed out on their first
chance to enroll for the medical
insurance to supplement their ba
sic hospital insurance, signed up
during the recent enrollment pe
riod," Robertson said.
Now IK. 6 million of the Na
tion's 111.6 million persons 65 and
over are enrolled for the volunta
ry medical insurance that helps
lay doctors and Surgeons bills
and a variety of other health care
services. About 17.9 million hud
this medical insurance protection
at the beginning of the open en
rollment period.
Robertson pointed out that par
ticipation in this doctor hill in
surance rose from 112 to 9; per
cent "despite an increase of $1
in the monthly premium paid by
those enrolled. And only 36,000
older people gave notive between
October 1, 1967 and April I, 1968
of their wish to 'disenroll'."
The increase in the premium
rate from $.' to jl, announced in
December 1967 and effective with
the month of April 1968, was nec
essary in part to finance the im
proved medical insurance cover
age and partly to cover increas
ing medical costs. (The monthly
premium paid by those who sign
up for this supplementary plan
represents one-half the cost of the
protection. The Government pays
the other half of the cost.)
"Future enrollment periods are
set up on a 3-month basis, the
next 'open period' being scheduled
for January through March, 1969
with coverage beginning July
1 of that year," he explained.
"In the meantime, I advise those
approaching age 65 to enroll for
this important Medicare protec
tion. 'And I strongly advise each
to sign up during the 3 months
before the month of his or her
65th birthday, so there will be no
delay or loss of protection."
