Okay . . . This is the essence of Chapter One of O. Hallesby’s book on “Prayer:”
Someone’s knockin’ at the door
Somebody’s ringin’ the bell
Someone’s knockin’ at the door
Someone’s ringing’ the bell
Do me a favor
Open the door and let ’em in!
There is a town in north Ontario
With dream comfort memory to spare
In my mind, I still need a place to go
All my changes were there . . .
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Respectively, Paul McCartney and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young had the right attitude, “Do me a favor and let Jesus in!” Because – we are all helpless, helpless, helpless . . . and once we admit that fact, Jesus will step in and do the rest! The last sentence in paragraph 8 on page 30 says it all: “When we are in our helplessness and we turn to Jesus, it is proof positive that we have enough faith!” . . . Yes, I had to revamp and add emphasis; however, that’s what Hallesby is really saying!
