Again, when our hearts are enlarged to pray, when we can pray from a broken heart: as you see here, he joins them together, God will deliver 1me, but it must be by your prayers: when we have hearts to pray, and when others have hearts to pray for us, that is the time of deliverance. Usually there goes before deliverance an enlarged heart to pray to God; as we see in Daniel, Dan. 9. a little before they came out of Babylon, he had a large heart to pray to God. And when we can plead with God his promise, Remember, Lord, thy promise wherein thou hast caused us to trust: when we can cast our selves upon Gods mercy with prayer, and plead with God to remember his promise, it is a sign God means to deliver us. When the heart is shut and closed up, that it cannot speak to God: when there is some sin or other that doth stifle the spirit, that it cannot vent it self with that liberty to God, it is a sign that it is not the time yet of Gods deliverance.
