Prayer

I read this morning in a book called "The Secret of Communion with God" by Matthew Henry. This section on prayer affected my heart.
"We may be sure of this, and we must pray in the assurance of it, in a full assurance of faith, that wherever God finds a praying heart, he will be found a prayer-hearing God; though the voice of prayer be a low voice, a weak voice, yet if it come from an upright heart, it is a voice that God will hear, that he will hear with pleasure, it is his delight, and that he will return a gracious answer to; he hath heard thy prayers, he hath seen thy tears."
Henry went on to say that "What a shame is this to us, that God is more willing to be prayed to, and more ready to hear prayer than we are to pray."
This has lifted my gaze this morning and has spurred me on to pray to our Father in heaven. I hope it does the same for you.
