Jeremy Taylor on Walking with God

He walks as in the presence of God that converses with him in frequent prayer and frequent communion; in all his necessities, in all doubtings; that opens all his wants to him; that weeps before him for his sins; that asks remedy and support for his weakness; that fears him as a Judge; reverences him as a Lord; obeys him as a Father; and loves him.

One thought on “Jeremy Taylor on Walking with God

  1. HA! You think I would have forgotten my password after not coming on here for so long. But I didn’t!
    I think this kinda describes me, except maybe for the obeying part. That would be the hardest….
    Generally, I can’t figure out people who say they haven’t prayed in a long time. I just have a running conversation with God/Jesus in my mind all the time, it seems. What’s so hard about that?!
