engagement, we may send up a petition to God, and plead for divine guidance, as
did Nehemiah when he made his request before King Artaxerxes.-- SC 103.

It is not always necessary to bow upon your knees in order to
pray. Cultivate the habit of talking with the Saviour when you are alone, when
you are walking, and when you are busy with your daily labor.-- MH 510, 511.

feel the stroke of the wrath of God. The ancient men,… had betrayed their trust.
… They say: The Lord will not do good, neither will He do evil. He is too
merciful to visit His people in judgment. Thus "Peace and safety" is the cry

the wheat for the heavenly garner. These things should
engross the whole mind, the whole attention.” {EW 118.1}
·
“I was pointed to the remnant on the earth. The angel said
to them, "Will ye shun the seven last plagues? . . . If
