I will update this post when Joel Beeke’s talk tonight from the DG Conference is online. I don’t recall hearing a more convicting and also encouraging talk on this subject.

The talk was taken from chapter 12 of the book Taking Hold of God: Reformed and Puritan Perspectives on Prayer, edited by Joel Beeke and Brian Najapfour. I highly recommend it.

Here is one of the quotes from Thomas Brooks (Works 2:256):

God looks not at the elegancy of your prayers, to see how neat they are;
nor yet at the geometry of your prayers, to see how long they are;
nor yet at the arithmetic of your prayers, to see how many they are;
nor yet at the music of your prayers, nor yet at the sweetness of your voice, nor yet at the logic of your prayers;
but at the sincerity of your prayers, how hearty they are.
