None of God's children are born dumb. A man that has left off prayer, is fit for any wickedness. When Saul had given over inquiring after God he went to the witch of Endor. Use two . Pray for pardon and purity.
Prayer is the golden key that opens heaven.
The tree of the promise will not drop its fruit unless shaken by the hand of prayer. All the benefits of Christ's redemption are handed over to us by prayer. A friend may receive our letter, though he does not presently send us an answer. He may delay to answer prayer when he will not deny it, because he sees we are not yet fit for the mercy we ask. We would have God swift to deliver, and we are slow to repent.
