Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Selected Works of Martin Luther, Vol. 2: An Offering to the Church of God in "the Last Days," 2 Tim. III. I
For, Christ is here himself a diligent observer of his own rule, which he has delivered to us concerning our prayers, -that there is no necessity for using long and pompous words, but, that simple words coming forth from the heart are the most effectual. Wherefore, let no one be offended at this prayer, nor let him through sleepy unconcern negligently disregard it, nor pass it by with out heed, as containing words that are useless, or com mouly spoken by men. For it may appear to any one, that he could make a much better prayer; whereas, if he were to attempt it, he would soon feel that the matter, the words, and the manner would fail him.
