When shall we come and appear before God? We pray when we see the emptiness of all things under heaven We see that in God alone their is rest and satisfaction for the soul. "The widow that is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and ask God for help". (!TM.5:5)...to pry rightly you must make God your hope, stay and all. Right prayer sees nothing substantial or worth being concerned about except God. And that, as I said before, it does in a sincere, sensible and affectionate way.
John Bunyan, Pilgrim's Prayer Book, quoted in "Come Boldly", p18.
