The broad implication in this directive allows greater flexibility for state and local officials to use this money for such things as water and sewer systems, police and fire protection, and he noted. medical facilities, stated he Howe Congressman was very pleased that energy development areas would receive priority consideration for additional impact aid and reaffirmed his position to insure funds are directed specifically to communities and areas that desperately need assistance for basic community services in the face of rapid growth.

" (II Chronicles 18:14). These men of war did not nave time to compose formal prayers. They needed help immediately, and their prayers gushed forth from sincere hearts which understood that their only help was from the Lord God of Heaven and earth. God heard their prayers and delivered the enemies into their hands (v.16). The man who prays for deliverance in the heat of a battle does not have time to choose his words with care. The man who is bowed down with the consciousness of sin is not concerned with the sound as he cries, Lord, be merciful to me a sinner. When a child makes a request of his father, he does it in simple language. If he wakes up frightened in the middle of the night, the child calls his mother and expects her to answer. phrase, ornamented with all the embellishments of language; it is the spontaneous outflowing of deep desire in petition to God. Effective emanates from the Erayer of our need and the depth of our desire. Prayer is instinctive. When a man finds himself in the midst of a difficult situation, his cry for deliverance will go up to the One Whose existence formerly, perhaps, he has disclaimed. How much better it is to be in constant communion and fellowship with Him to be a regenerated child making all our wants and wishes known before a loving Father Who assures us that like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him (Psalm 103:13) and As one whom his mother so will I comfort (Isaiah 66:13). you. . . com-fortet- h, |
