Owen: spiritually minded

Feast of Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 687
Meditation:
He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul;
But he that is careless of his ways shall die.
—Proverbs 19:16 (ASV)

Quotation:
To pray earnestly and live carelessly is to proclaim that a man is not spiritually minded in his prayer.
... John Owen (1616-1683), The Grace and Duty of being Spiritually Minded [1681], in Works of John Owen, v. VII, London: Johnson & Hunter, 1852, I.6, p. 295 (see the book)

Quiet time reflection:
Do my petitions match my life?
