The truly good are of one language in prayer. Whatever lines or angles of thought may separate them in other hours, when they pray in extremity, all good men pray alike. The Emperor Charles V and Martin Luther, two great generals of opposite faiths, breathed out their dying struggle in the selfsame words. There be many tongues and many languages of men, but the language of prayer is one by itself, in all and above all. It is the inspiration of that Spirit that is ever working with our spirit, and constantly lifting us higher than we know, and, by our wants, by our woes, by our tears, by our yearnings, by our poverty, urging us, with mightier and mightier force, against those chains fo sin which keep us from our God. We speak not of things conventionally called prayers, --vain mutterings of unawakened spirits talking drowsily in sleep, -- but of such prayers as come when flesh and heart fail, in mighty straits; -- then he who prays is a prophet, and a Mightier than he speaks in him; for the "Spirit helpeth our infirmities; for we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us, with groanings which cannot be uttered." (Harriet Beecher Stowe - A Minister's Wooing)
