Not to pray is a sin most odious. — Oh, why cease we then to call instantly upon his mercy, having his commandment so to do! Above all our iniquities, we work manifest contempt and despising of Him, when by neglecting we delay to call for his gracious support. Whoso calleth on God obeyeth his will, and findeth therein no small consolation, knowing nothing is more acceptable to his majesty than humble obedience.
John Knox (via drquote)
