Fervency of Spirit

• It is not the arithmetic of our prayers, how many they are;
• nor the rhetoric of our prayers, how eloquent they are;
• nor the geometry of our prayers, how long they be;
• nor the music of our prayers, how sweet our voice may be;
• nor the logic of our prayers, now argumentative they may be;
• nor the method of our prayers, how orderly they may be—which God cares for.
• Fervency of spirit is that which availeth much.
