Pray without ceasing, 1 Thessalonians 5:17.

If we have not grace enough, it is because we do not pray enough, for most true it is, we need not strive to move God to compassion, and extort, as it were, the blessings from him by our prayers. Very far from it. He is every minute communicating himself to us; in every word he holds forth Christ and every good thing to us; but we must always have a soul hungering after Christ, and by incessant prayer stretch out the hand of faith to receive him. This is chiefly to be understood of the inward desires and groanings of our spirit; but we must not omit to pour out our supplications daily, as oft as we can by words, else our secret mental prayers, at last, may become so secret, as to cease perhaps entirely.

Father, in the mighty name
Of thy well-beloved Son,
One of all thy gifts I claim,
All my wants I speak in one.
Let me for thy promise stay.
Only give me power to pray.

Grant me the comfort or deny,
Visit, or from me depart,
Only let my spirit cry,
Abba Father in my heart.
Abba Father would I say;
Only give me power to pray.
