Another holy disposition in prayer should be this; the soul ⟨p. 295⟩should come with a holy freedom, with the Spirit of adoption to God, crying Abba Father; if thou comest to God merely as to a Judge, though it's true, those that do not know that God loves them, yet are bound as Creatures to pray, but thou canst never sanctify the Name of God, till thou hast a child-like Spirit, the Spirit of adoption; the Lord loves to have his Children come with freedom of Spirit to himself in prayer, to come as children, and not to come with dejected countenances, and discouraged hearts; but come freely to open thy heart to God, as any child would open his heart to a gracious and loving Father.

Another disposition is fervency in prayer; the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much, and that will be a means to help against vain thoughts too; as when the honey is scalding hot then the flies will not come to it; if thy heart were as it were scalding hot in prayer thou wouldest not have such vain thoughts.
