If you find your life of prayer to be always so short, and so easy, and so spiritual, as to be without cost and strain and sweat to you, you may depend upon it, you have not yet begun to pray.

And then, what is grace? Grace is love. But grace is not love simply, and purely, and alone. Grace and love are, in their innermost essence, one and the same thing.

It is the holiness of our Lord's heart that fills the New Testament full and makes it the unparalleled and unapproachable Book that it is.

Prayer is a rising up and a drawing near to God in mind and in heart, and in spirit.

No man's prayer is acceptable with God whose life is not well pleasing before God.

If you would move me with your preaching, or with your praying, or with your singing, first be moved yourself.

Prayer is the only way to amend your life: and without prayer, it will never be mended.
