I remember a story I heard when I was newly converted that has governed my prayer life for over sixty-plus years. It seems a great old prayer warrior was sharing a room with a novice Christian in a Bible conference. The youthful believer had heard the reputation of the elder’s prayer life, and so he undressed slowly that he might observe the sacred sight of the old man agonizing in prayer by his bedside. But to his amazement the aged one got into bed, pulled the sheets up, and as he turned his night light out said, “Good night, Jesus.” The young man then confessed his surprise to the aged one, telling him what he had expected; to which the silver headed saint replied, “Son, when you talk to the Lord all day there is nothing left to say at bedtime but, “Good night, Jesus”.
All I can say is AMEN!! and thank you.
Thanks for writing.
So very true, Dad. Thank you.
