If you constantly pray for the Holy Spirit, you will grow in the habit of recognizing His agency in your possessing spiritual benefits, and of ascribing them to His love. This will increase your gratitude to Him. And gratitude to the Holy Spirit for loving you, cannot but have the effect of fixing your attention more and more on His gifts, and His operations and actings towards you, whereby your knowledge of His gracious dealings with souls will be increased. — William Scribner, Pray For the Holy Spirit (1875), p.57
