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

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

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.
