Some think it is wrong to try to observe order in the worship of God. But I have seen that it is not dangerous to observe order in the church of God. I have seen that confusion is displeasing to the Lord, and that there should be order in praying and also in singing. We should not come to the house of God to pray for our families unless deep feeling shall lead us while the Spirit of God is convicting them. Generally, the proper place to pray for our families is at the family altar. When the subjects of our prayers are at a distance, the closet is the proper place to plead with God for them. When in the house of God, we should pray for a present blessing and should expect God to hear and answer our prayers. Such meetings will be lively and interesting. {1T 145.3}

Nogle mener, at det er urigtigt at iagttage orden ved gudstjenesten. Men jeg har set, at det ikke er farligt at iagttage orden i Guds menighed. Jeg har set, at forvirring er mishagelig for Herren og at der bør være orden i bøn og også i sang. Vi skulle ikke komme til Guds hus for at bede for vore familier, medmindre vi ledes af dybe følelser, medens Guds ånd overbeviser dem. Det rette sted for forbøn for vore familier er i almindelighed ved (146) familiealteret. Når de, hvem vore forbønner gælder, befinder sig længere borte, er lønkammeret det rigtige sted, hvor vi kan kæmpe med Gud for dem. Når vi er i Guds hus, bør vi bede om en velsignelse for anledningen og vi bør forvente, at Gud hører og besvarer vore bønner. I sådanne møder vil der være liv og interesse.
