Cease To Pray And Thou Will Begin

Pray Often Rather Than Very Long At A Time. It Is Hard To Be Very Long In Prayer, And Not Slacken In Our Affections.

Humble Souls Are Fearful Of Their Own Strength.

Praying Is The Same To The New Creature As Crying Is To The Natural. The Child Is Not Learned By Art Or Example To Cry, But Instructed By Nature; It Comes Into The World Crying. Praying Is Not A Lesson Got By Forms And Rules Of Art, But Flowing From Principles Of New Life Itself.

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.

For A Beggar To Live At Court Is Not So Much As The King To Dwell With Him In His Cottage.
