In vain he is called a preacher that never preacheth, so he is in vain called a Christian that never prayeth. As things of an airy nature move upward, so the saints are carried up to God by a kind of naturality, when they are gracious. God hath no tongue-tied or dumb children; they are all crying, Abba, Father.

Thomas Manton A Practical Exposition of the Lord's Prayer (Complete Works, Vol. I, Nisbet 1870), on omission of prayer
