Satan will be ready to help forward such thoughts as a fit medium to lift thee up , and slacken thy care in duty for the future.

William Gurnall
Image
The Christian in prayer comes up close to God, with a humble boldness of faith, and takes hold of him, wrestles with him yea, will not let him go without a blessing... They are only a few noble-spirited souls, who dare take heaven by force, that are fit for this calling.
