We speak to God in prayer, God answereth us in the word; God speaks to us in the word, and we return and echo back again to him in prayer. In the word God comes down to us, and in prayer we get up to God; therefore, if you would be familiar and often with God, you must be much in prayer.

Thomas Manton — A Practical Exposition of the Lord's Prayer (Complete Works, Vol. I), on hearing and prayer as perpetual duties
