5. Be exhorted to have recourse to Jesus Christ for supply of grace. Go to Jesus, and by the Prayer of faith approach to the Throne of grace, and beg grace to help thee in time of need. Go unto God by Christ, and God through Christ will supply all your wants.1 My God, saith Paul to the Philippians, shall supply all your need, according to his riches in glory by Jesus Christ. Go to this God, and express your selves before his throne, with sensible complaints, and earnest requests, say, Lord, seeing there is so much water in the fountain, why should my cistern be empty? such fullness of grace in Christ, and so little grace in my heart? Lord,2 hast thou not gifts for men, yea for the rebellious also, and that's the worst that can be said of me, and hast thou not a blessing for me also?
