Prayer is the nearest approach to God, and the highest enjoyment of him, that we are capable of in this life. It is the noblest exercise of the soul, the most exalted use of our best faculties, and the highest estimation of the blessed inhabitants of heaven. AVhen our hearts are full of God, sending up holy desires to the throne of grace, we are then in our highest state, we are upon the utm...ost height* of human greatness; we are not before kings and princes, but in the presence and audience of the Lord of all the world, and can be no higher, till death is swallowed up in glory. On the other hand, sleep is the poorest, dullest re- freshment of the body, that is so far from being in- tended as an enjoyment, that we are forced to receive it either in a state of insensibility, or in the folly of dreams. Sleep is such a dull, stupid state of existence, that even amongst mere animals, we despise them most, which are most drowsy.
