The more you praise, the more vigor you will have for prayer; and the more you pray, the more matter you will have for praise.
J. I. PackerThe healthy Christian is not necessarily the extrovert, ebullient Christian, but the Christian who has a sense of God's presence stamped deep on his soul, who trembles at God's word, who lets it dwell in him richly by constant meditation upon it, and who tests and reforms his life daily in response to it.
J. I. Packer
