Girls' Query Corner Conducted by M yrtle E. S cott
Questions for answer in this corner should be sent to Miss Scott, 8961 Dicks St., West Hollywood, Calif., and a stamped envelope*should be enclosed for reply. No name will appear with the questions chosen for publication. Dear Miss Scott:
Does He not say plainly, “Ye have not, because ye ask not” (Jas. 4:2) ? He will be to us as a Father if we will be to Him as children. Remember, too, that we are defi nitely told to pray for other believers. In Ephesians 6:18, Paul urges “suppli cation for all saints.” Oh, that we might feel our responsibility in this as did Samuel who said, “God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you” (1 Sam. 12:33)! Before going to your last question, I would remind you also that it is by prayer that we fulfill our official duties as believer-priests. “Ye . . . are . . . a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ” (1 Pet. 2:5). Think of if! In this service we are associated with Christ, our High Priest, who “ever liv- eth to make intercession” for us who “come unto God by him” (Heb. 7:25). “Workers together with him”—what a privilege! Now let us consider the problem con cerning prayer for the unsaved. It is true that we need not seek God’s willing ness to save the lost. He has given us a part by prayer in hindering Satan’s work of blinding the eyes of fhe un saved .and of holding them in bondage. In the New Testament much emphasis is put on faith for others. There are recorded three times” as many cases where people were healed and helped through the intercession of others as there are of those who came for them selves. When the four men brought the paralytic to the Lord Jesus, we read, “When Jesus saw their faith, he said . . .” (Mk. 2:5). The Lord still promises "If ye shall ask . . . I will do.” His law of' cooper ation for the salvation of the lost is as real as His law of cooperation in the physical world. We are asked to pray and to witness of our Saviour.
Our whole family love THE KING’S BUSINESS. And, do you know, we all read the “ Query Comer”—even my Dad! I have been especially interested in ar ticles you have written about prayer. Brought up in a Christian home and taught from childhood to pray, I would be ashamed to let my friends here know of the doubts that come to me at times concerning the reasonableness o f prayer. ■Finally, I have decided to write to you, for you do not know me, and others may be bothered by these same questions: Why pray to ask God for things for ourselves or others when He knows better than we do what we heed, and when He, as a loving Father, is con cerning Himself about the needs of Hiß children ? Why ask God to save the lost since it is true that it is not His will that any shall perish? These questions come to me again and again when I pray. Please help me for I am “Bothered.” My Dear: I am glad to receive questions which show concern about prayer, for it is indeed vital in our Christian life and service. What a challenge God’s peo ple should find in the events of the days through whicn we are passing, really to give themselves to the ministry of prayer! • As for your first question, would not a sufficient reason for prayer be that God asks for it ? Read Matthew 7:7-11 and see that He expects us to ask of Him and to expect to receive the very thing we ask. This necessitates knowing the teaching the Word gives concerning prayer, and also the leading of the Holy Spirit that we may ask aright. Prayer is one of God’s laws for run ning the universe, and we cannot disre gard His law and prosper spiritually.
