Many men will cry, Lord give me glory, when they do not with pantings of heart say, Lord let me give glory to thy name. Christ said, Hallowed be thy name, expressing his respect to the honouring, and glorifying of the name of God, that was the first petition in Christs Prayer, to show, that the glorifying of the name of God ought to be the first, and chiefest thing in our prayers.

Christ prayed, O my father, 1to teach you, that you must not only pray with an awful apprehension of God, ⟨p. 8⟩but also with fiducial confidence in God. 211. Heb. 6. Without faith, it is impossible to please God, for he that comes unto him, must believe that he is, and that be is the Rewarder of them that diligently seek him. You must never come to God, to ask doubtingly, but you must come with fiducial confidence, as a Child to a Father.
