It is not only our duty to pray for others, but also to desire the prayers of others for ourselves.

As the eye of the body once put out, can never be restored by the creature's art, so neither can the spiritual eye lost by Adam's sin be restored by the teaching of men or angels. It is one of the diseases which Christ came to cure.

Therefore tremble, O man, at any power thou hast, except thou usest it for God. Art thou strong in body; who hath thy strength? God, or thy lusts?

Set a strong guard about thy outward senses: these are Satan's landing places, especially the eye and the ear.

Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.

Furnish thyself with arguments from the promises to enforce thy prayers, and make them prevalent with God. The promises are the ground of faith, and faith, when strengthened, will make thee fervent, and such fervency ever speeds and returns with victory out of the field of prayer. The mightier any is in the Word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.

Justifying faith is not a naked assent to the truths of the gospel.
