1Secret sins will hinder your fervent praying, and will stop the Audience of your prayers. They will exceedingly damp your affections at the throne of grace, and make you sneak in the presence of God, that you cannot have that liberty and confidence in prayer, because Conscience will be interlining thy prayers, and say, Thou prayest against this sin, and yet thou didst not watch against it, but didst knowingly commit it. They will stop thy mouth that thou canst not speak, and they will stop Gods ears, that he will not hear, Psal. 66.18. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.
- 1And fervent prayer, and prevent audience.
