Subject Matter
This week of prayer is based on a quotation from Prophets and Kings:
“For three years the Hebrew youth studied to acquire “the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.” During this time they held fast their allegiance to God and depended constantly upon His power. With their habits of self-denial they united earnestness of purpose, diligence, and steadfastness. It was not pride or ambition that had brought them into the king’s court, into companionship with those who neither knew nor feared God; they were captives in a strange land, placed there by Infinite Wisdom. Separated from home influences and sacred associations, they sought to acquit themselves creditably, for the honor of their down-trodden people, and for the glory of Him whose servants they were." {PK 484.2}
Much study was undertaken in preparing, including some documents that I believe will prove a long-term blessing to those seeking to understand some of these practical subjects.
This was a key document considered. It is a a new edition with additional quotes, better formatting and table of contents.

On this page you will find the four letters as well as some commentary on what was going on. The fourth letter contains the oft-quoted paragraphs in Steps to Christ and Messages to Young People regarding knowing the true force of the will. The quotations are helpful, but the letters are much better. Take the time to read them and ask God what you can learn from his experience.
