The Delights of Prayer
Life of Alleine. Psalm 73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all your works. Alleine once wrote — "Though I am apt to be unsettled and quickly set off the hinges, yet, methinks, I am like a bird out of the nest, I am never quiet till I am in my old way of communion with God; like the needle in the compass, that is restless till it be turned towards the pole. I can say through grace, with the Church, 'With my soul have I desired Thee in the night, and with my spirit within me have I sought Thee early.' My heart is early and late with God; 'tis the business and delight of my life to seek Him." (Life of Alleine.).
