Then Manoah entreated the Lord, and said, oh my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we should do unto the child that shall be borne; he prayed then with much earnestness, or made prayers for direction in that thing. The word is often used to signify abundance, (Isa. 35.2.) It shall blossom abundantly. (Jere. 33.6.) Behold, I will bring in health, and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace, and truth. Not only shall they have peace, and truth, but abundance of them. So here, thou shalt not only pray, but a spirit of prayer shall be poured out upon thee abundantly. Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him.
Then Manoah intreated the Lord, and said, oh my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come againe unto us, and teach us what we should doe unto the childe that shall be borne; he prayed then with much earnestnes, or made prayers for direction in that thing. The word is often used to signifie abundance, (Isa. 35.2.) It shall blossome abundantly. (Jere. 33.6.) Behold, I will bring in health, and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveale unto them the abundance of peace, and truth. Not onely shall they have peace, and truth, but abundance of them. So here, thou shalt not onely pray, but a spirit of prayer shall be powred out upon thee aboundantly. Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him.
Hence note;
First, Prayer is a duty.
