If you would have the Lord receive you into Heaven, you must give your self unto Prayer.
Prayer is defined by Gregory Nyssen to be a Discourse between the Soul and God: it is of two sorts, Vocal and Mental; that is, outward expressions of the Voice, and an inward lifting up of the Mind to the Throne of Grace.
Before you enter into Prayer, ask your Conscience these Questions, with a resolution to return an Answer.
1. To what end, O my Soul, art thou retired into this place?
2. Art thou not come to discourse with the Lord in Prayer?
