Quotemeal: May. 1st, 1960

Sunday, May 1, 1960

"The prayers and supplications that Christ offered up were, joined with strong cries and tears, herein setting us example not only to pray, but to be fervent and importunate in prayer. How many dry prayers, how few wet ones, do we offer up to God!"
— Matthew Henry
