Another thing in prayer must be faith; pray without doubting, as in the former Scripture, the prayer of faith prevails ⟨p. 294⟩much; James, 1. 6 7. a man that wavereth and doubteth must not think to obtain any thing of God. But I should have opened what that faith is that we should have in prayer, we must have faith to believe that the thing that we do pleaseth God, and faith in Gods promises, and faith in Gods providence, this should be exercised in the time of our prayers; And therefore after we have done, to go away believing, as Hannah in 1 Sam. 1. 18. we read of her, that after she had been praying she went away, and looked no more sad, the text saith; noting that after we have been pouring forth our souls to God, we should believe and exercise faith and not go in as drooping a way as ever we did.
