A quarter of an hour of this prayer, brings you out of your closet a new man; your heart feels the good of it; and every return of such a prayer, gives new life and growth to all your virtues, with more certainty, than the dew refreshes the herbs of the field: whereas, overlooking this true prayer of your own heart, and only at certain times taking a prayer that you find in a book, you have nothing to wonder at, if you are every day praying, and yet every day sinking further and further under all your infirmities.

For him shall endless prayer be made,  And princes throng to crown his head; His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise With every morning sacrifice. People and realms of every tongue Dwell on his love with sweetest song, And infant-voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on his name. Blessings abound where'er he reigns; The prisoners leap to lose their chains; The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. Let every creature rise and bring Honors peculiar to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud amen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind and the voice by themselves are not sufficient. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64478]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind and the voice by themselves are not sufficient.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["When the Son of Man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?"

If He should now come, would He find it in us? What fruits of faith have we to show? Do we look upon this life only as a short passage to a better? Do we believe that we must suffer with Jesus Christ before we can reign with Him? Do we consider this world as a deceitful appearance, and death as the entrance to true happiness? Do we live by faith? Does it animate us? Do we relish the eternal truths it presents us with? Are we as careful to nourish our souls with those truths as to maintain our bodies with proper diet? Do we accustom ourselves to see all things in the light of faith? Do we correct all our judgements by it?  Alas! The greater part of Christians think and act like mere heathens; if we judge (as we justly may) of their faith by their practice, we must conclude they have no faith at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hilary and Art are both pretty young, they were just promoted, and this was their big chance after waiting in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33983]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hilary and Art are both pretty young, they were just promoted, and this was their big chance after waiting in the wings.
