"I can at the prayer meetings readily tell when the brother is praying and when he is only performing, or playing at prayer. You know how it is with some prayers – they are like an invoice, 'as per usual,' or a list of goods with 'ditto, ditto,' every here and there. Oh for a living groan! One sigh of the soul has more power in it than a half an hour of recitation of pretty pious words. Oh for a sob from the soul, or a tear from the heart!” (Source: The Forgotten Spurgeon, by Iain Murray, or you can follow the links below to listen to this great book!)
