Prayer a Duty, Even Though There be no Desire to Pray
Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you:


In certain states of the body men lose all appetite for food. Are they to yield to this want of appetite? If they do yield to it, they are soon starved to death. Sometimes without appetite, it becomes necessary for them to take, day by day, nourishment. Just so with prayer. If I cannot pray as a privilege, I am to pray as a duty.
