3. When the Spirit moveth us to pray, he inclineth us to come to God, Rom. 8.15. Ye have received the Spirit of Adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Gal. 4.5, 6. Because ye are Sons, he hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your Hearts, crying, Abba, Father. He doth not move us to go to the Saints, but to God.
The Use. Well then, if any trouble befall us, let us call on God, unbosom our selves to him; Psal. 50.15. Call upon me in the day of trouble, I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. If we want any Grace, let us go to the God of all Grace, in the Name of Christ; Heb. 4.16. Seeing therefore we have a great High Priest that is entered into Heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us come boldly to the Throne of Grace, t•at we may obtain Mercy, and find Grace to help us in a time of need. We can pray to none but to him in whom we trust; Psalm. 62.8. Trust in the Lord at all times; pour out your Hearts before him. Trust is the Foundation of Prayer, they that look to God for all, will frequently apply themselves to him: Our Necessities and Wants are continual, both as to the Temporal and Spiritual Things, we need not only daily Bread, but daily Pardon, daily Strength against Temptations; therefore let us often come to God.
The Vse. Well then, if any t•ouble befal us, let us call on God, unbosom our selves to him; Psal. 50.15. Call upon me in the day of trouble, I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. If we want any Grace, let us go to the God of all Grace, in the Name of Christ;
