Psalm 5:3,12 Jeremiah 8:22 Each verse of this hymn expresses a distinct, important purpose for prayer. First, the "loving favor" of the Lord will serve as a protection during the day. Second, prayer will keep us from the destructive effects of anger.To extend forgiveness to another is to be like the Lord, who in his patience forgives His children daily. Third, prayer will ease our burden in times of trial or sorrow. Prayer will serve as the "balm of Gilead". Even a few moments devoted to prayer in the morning can change our outlook for the better throughout the day. The greater the demands of the day, the greater seems to be our need for a private communication with the Lord. This hymn's message is a reminder of this important truth.
