Show me a person who is always talking and I’ll show you a Christian who never does much praying. The majority of prayer for those who would be used by God must be in private. They do not seek either the eye nor ear of men, but rather the ear of God. They seek a closet alone with God. Father Nash used a cellar, a room in a boarding house, a nearby house, or a grove of trees where he could pour out his heart to God alone or with just a few others of similar burden and heart.
-Charles Finney
