“In our prayers we talk to God, in our Bible study God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.”
— D.L. Moody
Scripture focus
And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering of the [evening] sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou [art] God in Israel, and [that] I [am] thy servant, and [that] I have done all these things at thy word.
1 Kings 18:36 — KJV
Evening sacrifice. For long and noisy hours the priests of Baal had gone through their violent and excited leapings and screamings, praying wildly, muttering incoherently, but with no results. Utterly wearied and exhausted, they at length retired in despair. The multitude too were tired of the scenes of horror and excitement, and were in a receptive frame of mind for the ministrations of the prophet of God.
Of Abraham. Elijah addresses the God who is the Father of them all. He speaks to Him quietly and reverently, in striking contrast to the frenzied shrieks of the prophets of Baal.
Let it be known. The prayer was utterly simple, utterly sincere, without excitement, straight to the point, and right from the heart.
