God looks not at the elegancy of your prayers, to see how neat they are;
nor yet at the geometry of your prayers, to see how long they are;
nor yet at the arithmetic of your prayers, to see how many they are;
nor yet at the music of your prayers,
nor yet at the sweetness of your voice,
nor yet at the logic of your prayers;
but at the sincerity of your prayers, how hearty they are.
—Thomas Brooks
