PRAYER
[p. 451] PRAYER
Prayer can obtain everything. It can open the windows of heaven, and shut the gates of hell; it can put restraint upon God, and detain an angel until he leaves a blessing. It can open the treasures of rain, and soften the iron ribs of rock till they melt into a flowing river. It can unclasp the girdles of the north; it can arrest the sun in its course and the winds upon their errand.
What may not the saints have for asking?
