Admit sin, and you banish prayer. But, on the other hand, entertain, and encourage, and practice prayer, and sin will sooner or later flee before it.

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

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

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.

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