Psalms 119:131. I opened my mouth, and panted:
That was an admirable way of praying; no words were used by the psalmist, but his soul expressed itself by panting: "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God."
Psalms 119:131. For I longed for thy commandments.
The very best kind of prayer is that inarticulate panting, in which there is a longing, a sighing, that cannot be expressed in words.
