Fourthly, Taking in the consideration of the time, as before in the former part; Then shalt thou have thy delight in the Lord, then shalt thou make thy prayer to him.
Observe.
That, we are never in a fit frame for prayer, till we turn from every sin by repentance.
That, we are never in a fit frame for prayer, till wee turne from every sin by repentance.
As the Lord will not hear us when we pray, if we regard iniquity in our heart (Psal. 68.18.) so neither are we in a fitness to speak to God in prayer, if we regard any iniquity in our hearts. Repenting and praying must be of the same length; unless we repent continually, we cannot pray continually, because we sin continually. The more holy we are, the more free we are to pray. Sin clogs and checks the spirit in this great duty, cast off that weight, and then, shalt thou make thy prayer to him, And he shall hear thee.
