Discipline in Studying

In 1829, twenty-four year-old George Muller, famous for his faith and prayer and orphanages, wrote: 

"I now studied much, about 12 hours a day, chiefly Hebrew...[and] committed portions of the Hebrew Old Testament to memory; and this I did with prayer, often falling on my knees... I looked up to the Lord even whilst turning over the leaves of my Hebrew dictionary" 

[Quoted in Piper's Brothers, We are Not Professionals, pg 86]
