John Flavel Quotes

Maintain A Prayerful Frame Of Heart In The Intervals Of Duty. What Reason Can Be Assigned Why Our Hearts Are So Dull, So Careless, So Wandering, When We Hear Or Pray, But That There Have Been Long Intermissions In Our Communion With God? If That Divine Unction, That Spiritual Fervour, And Those Holy Impressions, Which We Obtain From God While Engaged In The Performance Of One Duty, Were Preserved To Enliven And Engage Us In The Performance Of Another, They Would Be Of Incalculable Service To Keep Our Hearts Serious And Devout. For This Purpose, Frequent Ejaculations Between Stated And Solemn Duties Are Of Most Excellent Use: They Not Only Preserve The Mind In A Composed And Pious Frame, But They Connect One Stated Duty, As It Were, With Another, And Keep The Attention Of The Soul Alive To All Its Interests And Obligations.
