As it is the sister of reading so it is the mother of prayer. Though a mans heart be much indisposed to prayer yet if he can but fall into a meditation of God and the things of God his heart will soon come off to prayer....Begin with reading or hearing. Go on with meditation end in prayer....Reading without meditation is unfruitful meditation without reading is hurtful to meditate and to read without prayer upon both is without blessing.
Our love was covered in fur yet I was the only one who wanted to pet it.
