There is not an instant of time during which our want does not exhort us to prayer.
Prayers are vainly poured out into the air unless accompanied with faith, in which, as from a watchtower, we may quietly wait for God.

A perfect faith is nowhere to be found, so it follows that all of us are partly unbelievers.
