Prayer–Preparation for Service<\/p>\n
"As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate Me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.<\/p>\n
"And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away" (Act_13:2-3).<\/p>\n

Elijah could talk to God at Jericho and Zarephath.<\/p>\n
John the Baptist was in the desert until the day of his showing to Israel, and there he talked with God.<\/p>\n
Peter knew a place of prayer in the quiet of the housetop.<\/p>\n
Paul sought the Father’s face, in the heart of Arabia.<\/p>\n
Spurgeon, Hudson Taylor, Mueller, and Moody, all knew the place of prayer.<\/p>\n
Before we go forth to meet men, we should get alone with God.<\/p>\n

Prayer and service are vitally and indissolubly linked.<\/p>\n
In prayer I sought my Saviour’s face,<\/p>\n
And asked Him what His will for me,<\/p>\n
At once He pointed out the place<\/p>\n
Where I should serve with victory.<\/p>\n
I went, obedient to His Word,<\/p>\n
He went with me, blest be His Name.<\/p>\n
I preached the message of His love,<\/p>\n
He made the Word a mighty flame.<\/p>\n
