Q What is it to pray according to Gods will? These two things it holds forth at the first view,
1. When we pray for such things as are agreeable to Gods will, viz. his revealed will, we should ask nothing but what he commands us. In the Lords prayer Christ tells us what he would have us pray for, for those things we have warrant to pray.
