Secondly, The hearing of prayer is described by the presence of God with those that pray. (Isa. 58.9.) Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer, thou shalt cry, and he shall say, here I am. This is a wonderful condescension, 'tis even as when a Master calling to his servant, he answereth, here, Sir, here I am; and that is as much as to say, I am ready to your command, I am ready to do what you will have me, here I am; so saith that promise in the Prophet, Thou shalt cry, and the Lord shall say, here I am, that is,¹ I am ready to do what you ask, I am even ready (O unspeakable Goodness) at your command (as our translation of the 11•h verse of the 45th Chapter of Isaiah, speaks out in plain terms,) or I am willing to do what you will have me to do. All which is in effect and virtually contained in the word of the Text. He shall hear thee. This teacheth us, First, That God is the hearer of prayer.
