The priority of prayer

It's a busy time for everyone, but let us not forget the importance of prayer. A small group of us met at Territorial Headquarters to have our regular prayer meeting. We are part of the chain and we cannot afford to break this chain.

While we are celebrating Christmas,  people in other parts of the world are suffering. We specially remember countries like Bangladesh where the fire has killed many people. We prayed for DR Congo. We prayed for peace in the Middle east, the conflict between Israel and Gaza. May wise sense prevail.

We thank God the Army has started work in Cambodia - the 126th country the Army is at work now. Plans are in hand for the pioneering work in Thailand.

It was good for us to meet in this way. We cannot survive without prayer.

"The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking Him the rest of the day. If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day. " E M Bounds.
