The Power of God In Prayer

From The Necessity of Prayer by Edward Bounds:

"A dear friend of mine who was quite a lover of the chase, told me the following
story: 'Rising early one morning,' he said, 'I heard the baying of a score of
deerhounds in pursuit of their quarry. Looking away to a broad, open field in front
of me, I saw a young fawn making its way across, and giving signs, moreover, that
its race was well-nigh run. Reaching the rails of the enclosure, it leaped over and
crouched within ten feet from where I stood. A moment later two of the hounds came
over, when the fawn ran in my direction and pushed its head between my legs. I
lifted the little thing to my breast, and, swinging round and round, fought off the
dogs. I felt, just then, that all the dogs in the West could not, and should not capture
that fawn after its weakness had appealed to my strength.' So is it, when human
helplessness appeals to Almighty God. Well do I remember when the hounds of sin
were after my soul, until, at last, I ran into the arms of Almighty God."
