Keep close to the Lord
Let us return to consider our vocal prayer, in order to pray intelligently, and in such a way that, without our understanding how, God may give us all the rest.
As you are alone, seek for some companion – and where could you find a better one than the Master Who taught you the prayer you are about to say?
Picture this same Lord beside you. See how lovingly, how humbly He is teaching you – believe me, you should never be without so good a Friend.
If you accustom yourselves to draw Him near you, and He sees that you love to have Him and make every effort to please Him, you will be unable, so to speak, to send Him away.
He will never fail you, but will help you in all your troubles and you will find Him everywhere.
Do you think it is a small thing to have such a Friend at your side?
