Give ear to my prayer, O God, and hide not thyself from my supplication. Psalms 55:1. Christ’s answer. Verily, verily, I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. John 16:23. For the Father himself loveth you. John 16:27. He has promised, before they call, I will answer, and whilst they are speaking, I will hear. Isaiah 65:24. Therefore I say unto you, what things soever you desire when ye pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them. Mark 11:24.
He that converses much and is humbly confident with God in prayer, shall certainly be heard; and these answers of prayer are undeniable evidences of the truth, faithfulness, and love of God, and greatly strengthen his faith, and at last bring him to be intimately acquainted with him. The more we receive, the more we are enlightened to see how much there is still wanting. This stirs us up to more frequent prayer, and to desire evermore; and the more we desire and believe that we shall receive it, the more shall be granted. Unbelief receives nothing. Matthew 13:58. But faith opens all the treasures of God, and never goes away empty.
Because on me they set their love,
I’ll save them, saith the Lord:
I’ll bear their joyful souls above
Destruction and the sword.
My grace shall answer when they call,
In trouble I’ll be nigh:
My power shall help them when they fall,
And raise them when they die.
