When God will have any great matters done he sets his peoples hearts to work at prayer by a kind of gracious instinct. He stirs them up and moves their hearts by the influence of his Holy Spirit.

The person who knows Christ best is the person who will pray best.

Our prayers are granted as soon as we have prayed even though the process of fulfilling our requests has not yet begun.

Those blessings are sweetest that are won with prayer and worn with thanks.
