Prayer as a Monition of Duty

By Jeremy Taylor

—When we pray for any virtue, we should cultivate the virtue as well as pray for it; the form of your prayers should be the rule of your life; every petition to God is a precept to man. Look not, therefore, upon your prayers as a short method of duty and salvation only, but as a perpetual monition of duty. By what we require of God, we see what he requires of us.—Jeremy Taylor.
