Overview

Excerpt from The Morning and Evening Sacrifice: Or Prayers for Private Persons and Families The author, however, is not certain that the qualities which ought to characterize a prayer have been distinctly stated in any of our treatises on composition, or are generally understood. In most of the devotional works which he himself has per used, one or other of two faults is found, - either the different parts of the individual prayers have no perceptible relation to each other, and appear as entirely detached effusions - or, by a contrary fault, they are connected with a formality and precision, which give to each prayer the appearance rather of a short treatise upon some moral or religious topic, than that of an expression of devout feelings in the presence of God.
