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.

The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan

The truths that I know best I have learned on my knees. I never know a thing well, till it is burned into my heart by prayer.
