PRAYER – Success in. – Charles Spurgeon

These lads to gain the fruit must shake the tree, Good reader, mark the lesson writ for thee! If from the tree of promise d mercy thou Wouldst win the good which loadcth every bough, Then urge the promise well with pleading cries, Move heaven itself with vehemence of sighs; Soon shall celestial fruit thy toil repay— ‘lies ripe, arid waits for him who loves to pray. What if thou fail at first, yet give not o’er, Lev.ir they self you bonier mine and more ; Enlist a brother’s sympathetic knee, The tree will drop its fruit when two agree : Entreat the Holy Ghost to give thee power, Then shall the fruit descend in joyful shower.
