I Have Often Thought That

Prayer Is A Shield To The Soul

Christians Are Like The Several Flowers In A Garden That Have Each Of Them The Dew Of Heaven, Which, Being Shaken With The Wind, They Let Fall At Each Other's Roots, Whereby They Are Jointly Nourished, And Become Nourishers Of Each Other.

Prayer Is A Sincere, Sensible, Affectionate Pouring Out Of The Soul To God, Through Christ, In The Strength And Assistance Of The Spirit, For Such Things As God Has Promised.

It Is Possible To Learn All About The Mysteries Of The Bible And Never Be Affected By It In One's Soul. Great Knowledge Is Not Enough.

Without The Spirit Man Is So Infirm That He Cannot, With All Other Means Whatsoever, Be Enabled To Think One Right Saving Thought Of God, Of Christ, Or Of His Blessed Things.
