“Prayer is the solemn and religious offering up of devout acknowledgments and desires
to God, or a sincere representation of holy affections, with a design to give unto
God the glory due unto His Name thereby, and to obtain from Him promised favours,
and both through the Mediator.”

–Matthew Henry, _A Method For Prayer: Freedom in the Face of God_. Ed. J. Ligon 
Duncan (Geanies House, Fearn, Ross-shire, Scotland, Great Britain: Christian Focus,
1994), 11.
