But this kind of praying, which takes all its thoughts and words only from the state of our hearts, makes it impossible for us to be strangers to ourselves. The strength of every sin, the power of every evil temper, the most secret workings of our hearts, the weakness of any or all our virtues, is with a noonday clearness forced to be seen, as soon as the heart is made our prayer book, and we pray nothing, but according to what we read, and find there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not hate, but glory, made these chiefs contend; And each brave foe was in his soul a friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9966]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not hate, but glory, made these chiefs contend; And each brave foe was in his soul a friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 687 Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  Although we ought always to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7493]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 687 Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  Although we ought always to raise our minds upwards towards God, and pray without ceasing, yet such is our weakness, which requires to be supported, such our torpor, which requires to be stimulated, that it is requisite for us to appoint special hours for this exercise, hours which are not to pass away without prayer, and during which the whole affections of our minds are to be completely occupied; namely, when we rise in the morning, before we commence our daily work, when we sit down to food, when by the blessing of God we have taken it, and when we retire to rest. This, however, must not be a superstitious observance of hours, by which, as it were, performing a task to God, we think we are discharged as to other hours. It should rather be considered a discipline by which our weakness is exercised and stimulated.
