old paths where the good way is timeless truth from the bible christian teaching thought and meditations from prior times read by missionary to africa james robinette subjects for meditation before penitential prayers. By Lancelot Andrews, 1555 through 1626, he was a translator of the King James Bible of 1611 from the private devotions of Lancelot Andrews. Thou art careful and troubled about many things, but one thing is needful. But we will give ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be counted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass. Love the Lord of all thy life, and call upon Him for thy salvation. Humble thy soul greatly, for the vengeance of the ungodly is fire and worms. A man can receive nothing, except it be given him. If he prayed, who was without sin, how much more it becometh a sinner to pray. St. Cyprian. God hears the heart, not the voice. We do more by groans than words. St. Augustine. God needeth not that we should be suppliants, nor loveth subjection. This is our own advantage, and hath an eye to our prophet, Arnab. Prayer ascends, mercy descends. St. Augustine. The grace of God is fuller than prayer. God ever granteth more than we ask. God commandeth thee to ask, and teacheth thee how to ask, and promises that which thou askest, and is angry if thou askest not, and yet askest thou not. Prayer is the breviary of faith, the interpreter of hope. We go to God by prayers, not by steps. Faith pours forth prayer, let it be poured forth in prayer.
