In pondering how many people throughout the world are desperate for what only Christ can give, these two statements come to thought:
First, Jesus' command in Mark 16:15: "Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature."
And from "Pulpit and Press", page 14 by Mary Baker Eddy:
"Millions of unprejudiced minds -- simple seekers for Truth, weary wanderers, athirst in the desert -- are waiting and watching for rest and drink. Give them a cup of cold water in Christ's name, and never fear the consequences,"
In order to carry out this holy endeavor, it is clear to me that we need God's help. And He does open the way for us to obey Jesus' words, and give a "cup of cold water in Christ's name". Praying to be useful to Him and our fellow beings in this way is prayer that our heavenly Father answers, I have found. In often unimagined ways -- blessing mankind and us immeasurably.
