Klein, Pastor Black Mountain Presbyterian Church Sunday, March 13, 1956 PRAYER IN THE CHRISTIAN’S LIFE Scripture: Matthew 6:518; 7:7-11; James 5:13-16. Prayer is one of the most mean ingful privileges of the Christian life. The New Testament teaching concerning prayer is that the gift of the Spirit and the efficacy of prayer is possible only for the Christian. Those outside of Christ can not enjoy the power of prayer, for prayer is made meaningful by the double intercession of the Holy Spirit and the Glorified Christ. Tennyson penned an eternal truth when he wrote that “more things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.” Yet‘in spite of the greatness of Christian prayer, it is something of which the aver age Christian knows very little. Most of us say grace at every meal —more through force of habit than spiritual benefit. Still fewer of us have a stated period for prayer; and these periods exist because we know we ought to pray. The Christians are few and far between who have a vital relationship with God through their prayers. And the vast majority of us pray only when we are faced with some cris is or danger. The majority of people who fill our churches each Sunday have failed to find the rich meaning of Christian prayer. I think this can be partially ex plained by the times in which we live. Our modern way of life does not lend itself to prayer. We to day do not have the ability, or the moral fiber, to live comfortably with ourselves for more than a few minutes. Back a hundred years ago before the rise of mod ern inventions, a man or women had to spend hours each day pro viding the necessities of life. A woman, for instance, would have to spend hours by herself weaving cloth or making clothes for her family, and when hours of relaxa tion came, a family would have to rely upon its ingenuity to pro vide entertainment. A child would have to fashion its own toys. In those days people learned to live with themselves because they had to. When their daily work was done they could not run to the movie or turn on their radio or television. They could not even take-off on a vacation. They were forced to cope with their solitude, and they did it remarkably well. It is no accident that great music and literature and art has not been produced by our modern age. Our modern gadgets have given us more time to ourselves, but we do not have the ability to live with ourselves. How many families spend an entire evening reading or doing something themselves to gether? An evening is spent at the^novie or around the television screen or at some club meeting And thus because we’ve not had to we've not learned to rely upon our selves to provide entertainment nor have we learned the quid art of living with ourselves. Out of this has grown our inability tc spend even a few moments of con centrated effort in silent prayer Our closets are too lonely for us to pray. And our prayer life will not greatly improve until we learr the power of concentration ant self-control and self-reliance. Prayer then, is a personal rela tionship with a personal Being It is based upon God’s nearness He is anxious that we come to Hin in prayer. It is also based upor the indwelling Spirit of God wh< is the source of our Christian life The Rev. Charles Jollay attend ed the pastor’s revival in Ashevilh at the First Baptist church oi Monday.

We are all looking for someone who will give us a secret of prayer, something that will un lock the hidden mysteries of com munion with God. But no such secret exists. It depends upon our concentrated effort. All the books on prayer will not help us until we subdue our spirits in prayer. However, even this concentrated effort at prayer has its dangers, for our prayer may reach the stage of sheer human effort. What we need is a prayerful attitude, an attitude of humble trust and devo tion to God. Such an attitude is founded upon the Holy Spirit, and issues in spontaneous prayers. What I’m saying is that stated period of prayer at night or in the morning are essential but not enough. Our very attitude should be such that we respond to things throughout the day with a spirit of gratitude or trust. For instance, our contact with someone in need should automatically issue in a brief unuttered prayer. That’s what will happen in our lives when we truly live by the Spirit. Our scripture passages give us som e helpful guidance as we con sider our prayer life. Matt. 6-5-8: we should not fall into the trap of thinking that prayer is a means of manifesting our righteousness to other men. Nor should we imagine that God is only interest ed in our long meditations that arise in long and beautiful phrases. God is not so much interested in what we say as He is in the spirit of trust that gives rise to our prayers. Matt. 7:7-11: Prayer involves three things, asking, seeking, and knocking. Our prayers are not only to issue in utterance, but in intellectual and physical effort as VIRGINIA LORA BRANDON CELEBRATED WITH PARTY On Saturday afternoon, Feb. 26, a party was (riven at the Hugh Brandon home on the Ridgecrest road for Virginia Lora, who was celebrating her ninth birthday an niversary. The birthday cake was decorated in pink and green. Plates, nap kins, and decorations carried out the same color scheme. Funny books were given as favors. During the afternoon bingo and other games were enjoyed. Refreshments were servd by Mrs. Brandon to Andrea Ford, Cheryl Burgess, Novilla Slagle, Kathleen Nesbitt, Judy Slagle, Lo raine Slagle, Sandra Blankenship, Brenda Lindsey, Lynn Hemphill, Patsy Layne, Sandy Lindsey, Jerri Layne, Tommy Brandon, and the honoree.

With The Sick Virginia Lora Brandon is getting along nicely at her home after ; undergoing a tonsillectomy at St. Joseph’s hospital. Mrs. J. T. Simpson has been sick at her home for the past 10 days. T. J. Stephenson is improving at his home after being a patient at St. Joseph’s hospital. BURGINS CHAPEL WILL HAVE BENEFIT SUPPER Burgin’s Chapel Ladies’ Aid is giving a benefit chicken and dumpling and oyster supper at the home of Mrs. Alex Crow on McCoy Cove road, Saturday, Mar. 12, beginning at 5:30 p. m. Every one is cordially invited to attend. There will be home baked goods on sale also. Come and eat your supper and take a cake or pie home with you. well. The man who prays to find a job, but who neither thinks of a way to find a job nor goes in search of one, might as well save his breath. But when we are will ing to do all we can to answer our prayers, we should remember that our heavenly Father is more gracious than even an earthly father. James 5:13-16: James lists four conditions of man that should give rise to prayer. Those who are in trouble should pray, for God is pained by our burdens. If we are cheerful, we should give thanks, for the angels in heaven are joyed over our happiness. If any one is sick, he should become the object of our prayers, and he should know that he is already the object of our love. If one is burdened by guilt, he should not only confess it to God, but he should also talk about it with another Christian whose understanding can bring the heal ing of God. College Chorus Going On Tour Montreat College’s 34-voice chor us will leave for an annual spring tour of Alabama and Georgia on March 11.
