Prayer is the offering up of our desires to God in the name of Christ, for such things as are agreeable to his will. It is an offering of our desires. Desires are the soul and life of prayer words are but the body now as the body without the soul is dead, so are prayers unless they are animated with our desires.
Thomas Watson
A weak faith can lay hold on a strong Christ.
Thomas Watson
God will fill the hungry because He Himself has stirred up the hunger. As in the case of prayer, when God prepares the heart to pray, He prepares His ear to hear (Ps. 10:17). So in the case of spiritual hunger, when God prepares the heart to hunger, He will prepare His hand to fill.
Thomas Watson
The more we enjoy of God, the more we are ravished with delight.
Thomas Watson
We spend our years with sighing it is a valleyof tears but death is the funeral of all our sorrows.
Thomas Watson
A spiritual prayer is a humble prayer. Prayer is the asking of an alms, which requires humility... The lower the heart descends, the higher the prayer ascends.
Thomas Watson
The prayer that is faithless is fruitless.
