Affliction quickens prayer – Thomas Watson
Affliction quickens the spirit of prayer. Jonah was asleep in the ship—but at prayer in the whale’s belly! Perhaps in a time of health and prosperity we pray in a cold and formal manner—we put no coals to the incense; we scarcely minded our own prayers, and how should God mind them?Then God sends some cross or other affliction to make us take hold of Him. Now their prayers pierced the heavens! In times of trouble, we pray earnestly and fervently.
