Gerhard and Walther

Whoever does not pray, in him faith will ultimately disappear. Love is lost, hope, humility, and all Christian virtues that have to be sustained with prayer.—Johann Gerhard, Schola Pietatis III:329.

But doesn’t the Bible also clearly say that God had really hardened many people? Yes, but it also emphasizes that God hardens only those who have already hardened themselves by despising grace.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 638.
