In prayer, it is better to have heart without words, than words without heart. Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin entice a man to cease from prayer.

For to speak the truth, there are but few that care thus to spend their time, but choose rather to be speaking of things to no profit.

Grace can pardon our ungodliness and justify us with Christ's righteousness it can put the Spirit of Jesus Christ within us it can help us when we are down it can heal us when we are wounded it can multiply pardons, as we through frailty multiply transgressions.
