It is much more important that we pray [the Lord's Prayer] regularly than that we wait until we have enough time to pray it at length and in great detail with deep ardor and heartfelt devotion. Satan, quite commonly, uses our spiritual enthusiasm against us. He gets us to go on a prayer binge because he knows we will not be able to sustain it. Then, when we fail, he uses our failure to argue that praying is not for us. -- John Kleinig, *Grace Upon Grace* p. 180
