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.

To hear prayer, is more then to take notice of the matter or words spoken; to hear prayer, is to grant what we pray for; as ⟨p. 265⟩our hearing the word of God is more then to take in the sound or sense of what is spoken; it is to submit to and obey what is spoken; Now as we hear no more of the word of God, then we believe and practice, so the Lord heareth no more of what we pray (in a Scripture sense) then what he granteth. There are two expressions in Scripture which note this.
