The secret of praying is praying in secret.

A sinning man will stop praying, and a praying man will stop sinning. We are beggared and bankrupt, but not
broken, nor even bent.

Prayer is profoundly simple and simply profound.
"Prayer is the simplest form of speech that infant lips
can try," and yet so sublime that it outranges all speech
and exhausts man's vocabulary.

A Niagara of burning
words does not mean that God is either impressed or moved. One of the most profound of Old Testament intercessors had no language-"Her lips moved, but her voice was not heard." No linguist here! There are
"groanings which cannot be uttered."
Are we so substandard to New Testament Christianity that we know not the historical faith of our
fathers?
