The secret formula of the Saints: When I'm in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord's choicest wines.
-Samuel Rutherford (1600-1661)

A Prayer by John Owen
“Holy Spirit, please handle this request gently. I know you will. It feels like a risk, but I can hear myself whispering this prayer, ‘I pray with all my heart that I may be weary of everything else but…communion with Him.’ I think you are already answering that prayer. Pleasures that used to excite me greatly, now excite me less. I’m feeling more empty, more often.”
-John Owen (Puritan theologian 1616-1663)
