Prayer is the breath of a regenerate soul; as soon as a child is born into the world it cries, as soon as a soul is born again it prays; it is observed of Saul upon his conversion, "Behold, he prayeth!" where there is life there is breath; where there is spiritual life, there are spiritual breathings; such souls breathe after God, pant after him as the hart panteth after the water brooks.
John Gill — A Body of Practical Divinity, Book III, Chapter 5, "Of Public Prayer"
