A Method for Prayer01 Matthew Henry
Whom have we in heaven butyou; and there is none upon earth that we desire besides you, or in comparison of you: When our flesh and our heart fail, be you the strength of our heart, and our portion forever; the portion of our inheritance in the other world, and of our cup in this, and then we will say that the lines are fallen to us in pleasant places, and that we have a goodly heritage. Psalm 73:25,
The desire of our souls is to your name, and to the remembrance of you; with our souls have we desired you in the night, and with our spirits within us will we seek you early. Isaiah 26:8, 9.
As the hare pants after the water brooks, so pants our soul after you, O God; our soul thirsts for God, for the living God; who will command his loving-kindness in the day-time, and in the night his song shall be with us, and our prayer to the God of our life. Psalm
O that we may come hungering and thirsting after righteousness; for you fill the hungry with good things, but the rich you send empty away. Matthew 5:6. Luke 1:53.
O that our souls may thirst for you, and our flesh long for you ina dry and thirsty land, where no water is, that we may see your power and your glory, as we have seen you in the sanctuary. Your lovingkindness is better than life; our souls shall be satisfied with that as with marrow and fatness, and then our mouths shall praise you with joyful lips. Psalm 63:1, 2, 3, 5.
