4 Faith enables a man to put up Soul-raising-prayers; indites Soul-raising-prayers, strong Prayers, and cries to God. As Prayer helps Faith: So Faith helps Prayer. It enables a man to wrestle with God, now in the Dark of desertion, as it did Jacob in the Dark of the Night. Yea, and to wrestle with him, by his own strength, the strength of his Covenant, of his promise, of his Christ.
