"Our prayers may be considered as a spiritual duty required by God. So they are wrought in us by the Spirit of sanctification, who helps us to perform all our duties by exalting all the faculties of the soul.
Our prayers may be considered as a means of keeping up communion with God. The soul is never more lifted up with God. The soul is never more lifted up with the love of God than when by the Spirit it is taken into communion with God in prayer. This is the work of the Spirit as Comforter."
-John Owen, Communion With God, Pg. 189
