“Prayer is an offering up of our desires unto God for things agreeable to his will, in the name of Christ, with confession of our sins and thankful acknowledgement of his mercies.”
B. B. Warfield (from a story he was telling about D.L. Moody)

“I believe that prayer is the measure of the man, spiritually, in a way that nothing else is, so that how we pray is as important a question as we can ever face.“
J. I. Packer

He loves thee too little, who loves anything together with thee, which he loves not for thy sake. – Augustine
