What should I speak of prayer, our very breathings are known to God when we cannot speak our sighs, as it is Psal. 38. My groans and sighs are not hid from thee. 1God hath a bottle for our tears, and preserves our sighs and groans, there is nothing that is spiritual in us, but God regards,2 as in Rom. 8. We know not what to ask, but the spirit of God stirreth up in us sighs and groans that cannot be expressed, And God hears the voice of the sighs of his own spirit.
