And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’s hands were heavy. Exodus 17:11-12. And he the King of Israel, shot. And he, Elisha, said, the arrow of the Lord’s deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria. And he, the King, smote thrice and stayed. And, the man of God was wroth with him, and said, thou shouldst have smitten five or six times, then hadst thou smitten Syria, till thou hadst consumed it. 2 Kings 13:17-19.
The more prayer, the more victory. Every groan, is a stroke, and a sling-stone on the head of the old man. Though he should appear as a Goliath, he must die, but by degrees. May the Lord make me instant in prayer, and give a true desire for his word.
Praise waits in Sion, Lord, for thee.
There shall our vows be paid:
Thou hast an ear, when sinners pray.
All flesh shall seek thine aid.
Lord, our iniquities prevail.
But pardoning grace is thine,
And thou wilt grant us power and skill
To conquer every sin.
O free the souls condemned to death,
And when thy saints complain,
Let not be said, that praying breath
Was ever spent in vain.
