The best prayers have often more groans than words.

The greatness of God, of the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, is that, if rightly considered, which will support the spirits of those of his people that are frighted with the greatness of their adversaries.

A tender heart is a wakeful, watchful heart. It watches against sin in the soul, sin in the family, sin in the calling, sin in spiritual duties and performances.

Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will entice a man to cease from prayer.

Christians are like the several flowers in a garden that have each of them the dew of heaven, which, being shaken with the wind, they let fall at each other's roots, whereby they are jointly nourished, and become nourishers of each other.

Prayer is an ordinance of God, that must continue with a soul so long as it is on this side glory.

The heart must be beaten or bruised, and then the sweet scent will come out.
