Lay no weight on the quantity of your prayers; that is to say, how long or how many they are. These things avail nothing with God, by whom prayers are not measured, but weighed. And what makes the weight in them is the faith, fervency, and humility therein; so that one of those groanings mentioned, Rom. viii. 26, will down-weigh a whole day’s prayers, in which these things are wanting. Do you labour to get near God in prayer, and press forward to obtain that.
For the reference, see Thomas Boston on quality, not quanity in prayer.
