Testimonies for the Church vol.6 p.382
"Let those who pray and those who speak pronounce their words properly and speak in clear, distinct, even tones. Prayer, if properly offered, is a power for good. It is one of the means used by the Lord to communicate to the people the precious treasures of truth. But prayer is not what it should be, because of the defective voices of those who utter it. Satan rejoices when the prayers offered to God are almost inaudible. Let God's people learn how to speak and pray in a way that will properly represent the great truths they possess. Let the testimonies borne and the prayers offered be clear and distinct. Thus God will be glorified."
For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold,....
and upon it he stood,
and kneeled down upon his knees
before all the congregation of Israel,
and spread forth his hands toward heaven,
And said,
O LORD God of Israel,
there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth;
which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants,
that walk before thee with all their hearts:
2 Chronicles 6:13,14
