\u201c I am convinced that we have far too shallow views of that command to pray for our enemies. It means vastly more than to say, \u2018God bless our foes.\u2019 It means that we are to take them on our heart in good earnest, and intercede for them, particularly, lovingly, perseveringly\u2014pray for them till out of a loving heart we can unite their highest welfare with our own.. . .

<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only must we pray long and fervently for our positive foes, but pray much for religious people who are cold and severe to us; for if we do not keep our hearts warm and pure, and very tender to everybody on earth, we lose that sweet sense of oneness with Jesus which is worth more than all the friendships of creatures.\u201d (pp. 80-81)<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery man\u2019s character depends on his prayers. It will be seen, at the final judgment, that all holy character will be in exact conformity to what has been the prayer-life of the individual. There is a history to prayer which is so interior and spiritual that we ourselves are not able to analyze it, or to mark its various degrees, and it would take the intelligence of an angel to write out the history of the prayers of God\u2019s people. Doubtless, it is this that will be manifested at the time that the prayers of all saints are brought to their culmination and completion.\u201d (page 83.)<\/p>\n
