SAINTS M AY DOUBT ABOUT MANY THINGS, BUT NOT THAT GOD ANSWERS PRAYER. MAN of enfeebled mind once became possessed, it is said, with the strange idea that the whole postal system of his country was such an unreal thing that, however many the letters sent, no replies to them could ever be received. His neighbours, of course, merely smiled at his fancies, and went on as before, acting on the facts. In our time some gifted but prayerless men seem to cherish a similar idea regarding prayer. They hold it to be a mere delusion, and assert that from the fixity of nature's laws they can scientifically prove that prayer never has been answered, and never can be. No Christian man, however, who knows his God and trusts him, prays the less on this account, or is in the least degree influenced by utterances like these. They go for nothing with him, because, while he believes in laws, he believes as firmly in a supreme, living, personal, and almighty Lawgiver; and that all the laws, which are just the expression of his will, must, from the very perfection of his nature, be ever entirely under his control, and consistent at the same time with his own express teaching, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint. It would be strange, indeed, were this world so made, and its laws so framed, that God, all wise and all powerful as he is, would in all after-time be so painfully fettered by them as to be unable to render the help his love might prompt or his lips had promised, and be actually less free to aid others than the very creatures of his hand Surelyif, in spite of the alleged fixity of nature's laws, the mother can hear the cry of her babe, and supply in need and protect in danger, how much more must the great God over all be free to hear and bless the children...
