As far as Adam's children and our own children are concerned, Kuyper adds that "the faculty of prayer is not an acquisition of later years, but is created in us – inherent in the root of our being, inseparable from our nature…. We owe the faculty of prayer to our creation.
"God created man as a being disposed to prayer. If this were not so, the faculty of prayer could not be among his endowments. We are created for prayer…. To the question: Why in our creation is this a peculiar work of the Holy Spirit? – we answer: Prayer is the drawing and pressing of the impressed image toward its Origin, Which is the Triune God."32
