A Note from E. M. Bounds
A public-domain paper on prayer from E. M. Bounds, presented for focused reading and spiritual formation.
The old prayers have very little interest in making us impressive. They keep asking for mercy, light, purity, patience, and a heart that can survive contact with reality.
The old words are not museum pieces. They are tools with worn handles. Pick them up.
Source boundary: this post reflects on Daniel, The Praying Captive, attributed in the corpus to E. M. Bounds. No outside sources used.
