What a man is alone on his knees before God, that he is, and no more. (McCheyne)

When we shoot an arrow, we look to the fall of it; when we send a ship to sea, we look for the return of it; and when we sow seed, we look for a harvest; and so when we sow our prayers into God’s bosom, shall we not look for an answer? (Sibbes)

All my discoveries have been made in answer to prayer. (Isaac Newton)

God can pick sense out of a confused prayer. (Richard Sibbes)
