All Night in Prayer
Luke 6:12
And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.


The Rev. John Welch, of Ayr, was accustomed to retire many nights to his church and spend the whole night in prayer — praying with an audible and sometimes with a loud voice. His wife, fearing he would catch cold, went one night to his closet where he had been long at prayer, and heard him say, "Lord, wilt Thou not grant me Scotland? " and, after a pause, "Enough, Lord, enough." Once he got such nearness to the Lord in prayer that he exclaimed, "Hold Thy hand, Lord; remember Thy servant is a clay vessel, and can hold no more."
