Those in a trouble find a kind of relief in pouring out their heart into the bosom of a sympathising friend; and it is an aggravation of affliction, when the fire must burn in the bosom, and there is no access to give it a vent. How much more is it a solid comfort, to be helped to pour out one's heart unto a gracious God, able and willing to help in due time?

Thomas Boston, Discourses on Prayer (1727) in The Whole Works of the Late Reverend Thomas Boston of Ettrick, ed. Samuel McMillan (12 vols, Aberdeen: George and Robert King, 1852), 11: 23.
