When thou saidest, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, thy face, Lord, will I seek. Psalms 27:8. l am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts. Psalms 119:74. Divine answer. They who seek me early shall find me. Proverbs 7:17. The humble shall see this and he glad, and your hearts shall live that seek God. Psalms 69:33. Seek and you shall find. Matthew 7:8. And whosoever finds me, finds life. Proverbs 8:35. For l am the Life. John 14:6.
Such arguments and entreaties we may use with God to strengthen us in faith; he does not want them, but we do, and he is well pleased when we take him at his word. For if we would not draw near to God in prayer, till our hearts are quickened, perhaps we might never come to it. Therefore we must not indulge ourselves, in such a state of dullness, but rather put a force upon ourselves, and pray against our natural inclination. Being faithful and instant in this, we will certainly have our affections warmed, and great power and blessings given from above, that our hearts may live.
O Lord, I plead thy precious promises and all thy former deliverances. Thou canst not deny thy word, I am a child of thy covenant, and thou hast laid thyself under an obligation to help me out, nay, to abide, to live and reign in me, that I may not grieve and lose thee any more by my sins.
Lord, I address thy heavenly throne:
Call me a child of thine;
Send down the spirit of thy Son
To form my heart divine.
