When God intends great mercy for his people, the first thing he doth is to set them a praying.

Nature is content with little; grace with less; but lust with nothing.

Wherever the fear of God rules in the heart, it will appear both in works of charity and piety, and neither will excuse us from the other.

When he [the slothful person] is pressed to be diligent, either in his worldly affairs or in the business of religion, this is his excuse (and a sorry excuse it is as bad as none).

It is easy to be religious when religion is in fashion; but it is an evidence of strong faith and resolution to swim against a stream to heaven, and to appear for God when no one else appears for Him.

You may as soon find a living man who does not breathe, as a living Christian who does not pray.

It is good for us to keep some account of our prayers, that we may not unsay them in our practice.
