To pray is to desire; but it is to desire what God would have us desire.  He who desires not from the bottom of his heart, offers a deceitful prayer.

François Fénelon

I have taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness.

Proverbs 4:11
The English Standard Version

It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults.  If you are angry with a man, or hate him, it is not hard to go to him and stab him with words; but so to love a man that you cannot bear to see the stain of sin upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship.  But few have such friends.  Our enemies usually teach us what we are at the point of the sword.

Henry Ward Beecher
