Psalms 31:1-3. Let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defense to save me. For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.
See how logical David is with his "for" and "therefore." It is the very essence of prayer to be able to urge pleas with God, and to say to him, "Do it for this reason," or, "Therefore, do it for such another reason." I would that we all of us studied more fully this blessed art of pleading with God, bringing forth sound arguments as we approach him.
