Excerpt from The Prayers of St. Paul: Being an Analysis and Exposition, Devotional Portion of the of Writings However symmetrical and perfect these sentences are as statements of Christian doctrine, it is their exhibition of Christian privilege that has always made them so precious to-the devout. AS such only they give out all their beauty. This really explains their origin. When soever the Apostle approaches the higher Christian life, and the exceeding greatness of the power and promise of God, and the innermost secrets of the provisions of the Christian covenant, we perceive him, as it were, changing his voice: doctrine, precept, exhortation give place to prayer; the pen is laid down, and the sentence finished in ardent praise or intercession, to be afterwards written under the suggestion of the Holy Ghost, just as it left his heart. In some instances - such as the opening prayer to the Colossians and those that abound in the Thessalonian Epistles - the words go Off into petition and return again without disturbing the order, only leaving their richer sanctity on the text. In others again - most notably in the middle Of the Ephesians - there is an intentional suspension of the theme, and the prayer is as deliberate and set as when the Apostle knelt with the same Ephesians by the sea-shore; as clear and sharply defined as if it had been let into the body of the Epistle; perfect throughout from the bending of the knees and the orderly approach.
