HINTS TO PREACHERS.
Ver. 169,170. -
1. The singular dignity of prayer. We are on earth, but our prayers pass the seraphim and "come near before God."
. The powerful right of prayer- to urge with God his own word: "according to thy word."
. The triumphant possibilities of prayer. Blessing us in mind and estate. For time and eternity. "Give me understanding." "Deliver me."
. The amazing license accorded to prayer. To double and reiterate its requests (as here).
