Our immediate temptation will be to ask for specific solutions to specific problems, and for the ability to help other people as we have already thought they should be helped. In that case, we are asking God to do it our way.

When the spirit of prayer began to be lost, then forms of prayer were invented, and, I believe, the same observation will hold good as to preaching.
George Whitefield

Study universal holiness of life. Your whole usefulness depends on this….Give yourself to prayer, and get your texts, your thoughts, your words from God. Luther spent his best three hours in prayer.

I ought to pray before seeing any one. Often when I sleep long, or meet with others early, it is eleven or twelve o’clock before I begin secret prayer. This is a wretched system. It is unscriptural. Christ arose before day and went into a solitary place. David says, “Early will I seek thee.” I feel it is far better to begin with God—to see His face first, to get my soul near Him before it is near another.
Robert Murray M’Cheyne
Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path,
Psalm 27:11

If the anointing which we bear come not from the Lord of Hosts, we are deceivers, since only in prayer can we obtain it. Let us continue instant, constant, fervent in supplication. Let your fleece lie on the thrashing-floor of supplication till it is wet with the dew of heaven.
Charles Spurgeon
And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us:
Psalm 90:17
The King James Version
Let us thus think often that our only business in this life is to please God.
