4. The mind must be compassed in prayer, ¹1 Cor. 7. 35 We are to attend upon the Lord without distraction. Daniel set his face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, Daniel 9. 3. In the morning will I ²direct my prayer unto thee, said David, Psal. 5. 3. As an Archer when he shoots an arrow, ³takes care that his hand shake not; his heart was so fixed on God, that he could directly send his prayers unto him. Dost thou think, O man, that God will hear that prayer which thou dost not hear thy self? will God regard that prayer, that thou dost not regard? will God grant thy request, when thou dost not know what thou askest, because of that indisposedness and distraction that lies upon thy spirit? You must therefore take care, when you be take your selves to prayer, that the Devil do not distract and disturb you.
