Read and Read Again

"Read, and read again, and do not despair of help to understand something of the will and mind of God, though you think they are fast locked up from you. Neither trouble your heads though you have not commentaries and expositions; pray and read, and read and pray...There is nothing that so abides with us as what we receive from God...Things that we receive at God's hand come to us as things from the minting-house, though old in themselves, yet new to us. Old truths are always new to us, if they come to us with the smell of heaven upon them."

John Bunyan

"But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it unto you. All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.

John 14:13 - 15. 

How is our reading and praying?

How is our praying and reading? 

Should this not be like breathing? Should not God's Word be the air we breathe? Should we not inhale and exhale it as naturally as breathing?
