Strange as this may seem at first, it is very practical in two ways. First, the Christian might easily be upset because of the persecution, but prayer would dispel any feeling of resentment and ill-will from his heart. Second, the prayer of love and mercy would liberate certain forces which would affect and change the disposition of the persecutor as was the case when Stephen prayed before his martyrdom and as a result Saul of Tarsus was converted to Jesus Christ. Our Lord further teaches that without the spirit of (race and forgiveness, there can be no real fellowship with God. In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said.

Therefore, If thou bring thy gift to the altar and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee, leave there thy gift before the altar and go thy way, first to be reconciled to thy brother and then come and offer thy gift." (Matt Jesus Is emphasizing here the privilege of worship and Its prerequisite. There must be a relationship with our fellow men. We know it Is much easier to give UP a dollar than It is to give up a quarrell. It is much easier to lay down a very generous offering than It is to lay down a long-cherished grudge. This, however.

Is where prayer proves most helpful, for a quiet season with God will soon eliminate the angry scene with our brother and waiting before God will quickly stop walling before men.
