Prayer is not designed to inform God, but to give man a sight of his misery; to humble man's heart, to excite his desire, to inflame his faith, to animate his hope, to raise his soul from earth to heaven.
Adam ClarkeMultitudes of words are neither an argument of clear ideas in the writer, nor a proper means of conveying clear notions to the reader.
Adam ClarkeThey who pray not, know nothing of God, and know nothing of the state of their own souls.
Adam ClarkeHe who is completely sanctified, or cleansed from all sin, and dies in this state, is fit for glory.
Adam Clarke
