Thou art coming to a King, large petitions with thee bring, for His grace and power are such none can ever ask too much.

By affliction prayer is quickened, for our prayers are very apt to grow languid and formal in a time of ease.

The best advice I can give you: Look unto Jesus, beholding his beauty in the written word.
