“God instituted prayer to communicate to creatures the dignity of causality.”

“Prayer is inward communication with yourself; action is outward conversation with God.”

“The end of the creation is that God may communicate happiness to the creature”

“Meditating on the nature and dignity of prayer can cause saying at least one thing to God: Lord, teach us to pray!”

“By disobeying immoral orders, that individual preserves the institution's highest rank - dignity.”

“[W]e need to remind ourselves that although prayer is a very personal and private communication with God, pouring out our repentance and sorrow for sin, it is also to be a constant connection with God, an unbroken communication, a means of receiving assurance as to how to go on in this next hour in our work, and our means of receiving guidance. Prayer is also to be our means of receiving sufficient grace and strength to do what we are being guided to do. This reality is to be handed to the next generation, not to end when we die.”
