1. Give ear to my prayer, O God. The fact
is so commonly before us, otherwise we should be surprised to observe how
universally and constantly the saints resort to prayer in seasons of distress.
But note well that it is never the bare act of prayer which satisfies the
godly; they crave an answer from the throne. Hide not thyself from my supplication. When someone saw his neighbor in distress, and deliberately
passed him by, he was said to hide himself from him. In that dread hour when
Jesus bore our sins upon the tree, his Father did hide himself, and this was
the most dreadful part of all the Son of David’s agony.
