Tag: The Power of Prayer Giveaway

Isabella was a strong believer in the power of prayer. She once wrote:

Prayer is the pulse of the renewed soul; and the constancy of its beat is the test and measure of the spiritual life.

One of Isabella Alden’s talents was creating characters who discovered for themselves the power of prayer in their lives. Some of her characters turned to prayer in times of trouble or to heal a loved one of illness; other characters spoke to God as naturally and as often as they would speak to a close friend or family member.

As wealthy Miss Mary Brown discovered in The Browns at Mount Hermon:

“I would give—oh, what would I not give!—to be able to talk to God as those girls did this afternoon, with the assurance which they evidently had that he heard and cared!”

In her own life Isabella knew the power of prayer. It was through the prayers of her sister Marcia that Isabella chose Christ as her Saviour (read more about that here).

As a busy author and public speaker, Isabella began each day with prayer “to ask God’s help and blessing on the work to be done.” (You can read about that here.)

And in her journal she regularly wrote down prayer requests, notes about sermons, favorite Bible verses, and lessons learned.
