Madame Guyon

I have been reading Madam Guyon's autobiography the last few days & and she is wonderful. You have to take some of her viewpoints with a grain of salt as Martin Luther's reformation hadn't quite taken off yet, so she was stuck in the Catholic church, but ahead of her time. I love this lady's zeal for Christ & and honesty. Here is a quote I value from her book.
"...if the value of prayer were but known, the great advantage which accrues to the soul from conversing with Thee, and what consequence it is of to salvation, everyone would be assiduous in it. It is a stronghold into which the enemy cannot enter. He may attack it, besiege it, make noise about it's walls, but while we are faithful and hold our station, he cannot hurt us."
