Importance of Prayer
Daniel prayed three times a day in spite of knowing he would likely be thrown into the Lion's Den for doing so. Daniel 6:10 In response to an article in the Zion's Herald of March 18, 1885 stating that Mary Baker Eddy was "prayerless", she responded as follows:
Three times a day, I retire to seek the divine blessing on the sick and sorrowing, with my face toward the Jerusalem of Love and Truth, in silent prayer to the Father which "seeth in secret," and with childlike confidence that He will reward "openly." In the midst of depressing care and labor I turn constantly to divine Love for guidance, and find rest. It affords me great joy to be able to attest to the truth of Jesus' words.
Love makes all burdens light, it giveth a peace that passeth understanding, and with "signs following." As to the peace, it is unutterable; as to "signs," behold the sick who are healed, the sorrowful who are made hopeful, and the sinful and ignorant who have become "wise unto salvation"!
