Faithfulness in hearing Prayer: 1This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, 2and saved him out of all his troubles; I never lost a prayer by God: Even when David wanted faith, God wanted not faithfulness. I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes; nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. God was faithful with a non-obstante to Davids unbelief: I said in my Haste, and he that believeth will not make haste; nevertheless thou heardest. Unbelief it self cannot make the faithfulness of God of none effect. I conceive that of the Apostle 2 Tim. 2.13. to bear this sense, If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful, he cannot deny himself: It is not to be ⟨p. 83⟩understood of a state of unbelief, but of an act of unbelief; not of a want of faith, but a want in faith; neither of which can render God unfaithful; who is engaged not so much to our faith, as to his own faithfulness, to himself, to hear the prayer of his troubled servants; Call upon me in the day of trouble, I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.3
