Those who see, pray.

 

And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. Luke 18:1 (ESV)   "While Christian was in the Palace Beautiful, they showed him all the remarkable objects in the armory, from the ox-goad of Shamgar to the sword of the Spirit. And amongst the arms, he saw, and with some of which he was arrayed as be left the place, was a single weapon with a strange, new name—'All-prayer.’ When I was a child, I wondered much what this could have been—its shape, its use. I imagine I know something more about it in these later years. At any rate, I think Bunyan found his name for it in one of the New Testament Epistles: ‘Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit’ Eph. 6:18). It so happens, also, that we have two parables of our Lord given us in the eighteenth chapter of Luke to one end, ‘that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.’ One of these parables teaches the lesson of importunity, the other teaches the lesson of sincerity. And it does not need that we draw from this collocation the subtle suggestion that want of importunity and want of sincerity are what weaken the weapon of all-prayer, and render faint the heart of the Christian who wields it. We know that we do not pray always, and that we do not always pray." (C. S. Robinson, D. D.)   Those who see the world as it is pray continually. Those who see the world as the answer only pray when their worlds are falling apart.
