We are not merely counselled and recommended to pray but are commanded to pray. God's own people need-- or else they would have not been given it-- a command to pray, because we are very subject to periods of worldliness, if indeed that is not our usual state.We do not forget to eat or go to work or go to our beds to rest, but we often do forget to wrestle with God in prayer and spend long periods in consecrated fellowship withour Father and our God. Prayer gets the leftovers , while the world has the best.
What meanest thou, O sleeper?arise,call upon the Lord." (Jonah1:6) We need this as well as Jonah did in the storm.
