9. When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back. The machinery of prayer is not always visible, but it is most
efficient. God inclines us to pray, we cry in anguish of heart, he hears, he
acts, the enemy is turned back. What God is this who hearkens to the cry of his
children, and in a moment delivers them from the mightiest adversaries! This I know. This is one of the believer’s certainties, his axioms, his
infallible, indisputable verities. For God is for me. This we know, and
none can be against us who are worth a moment’s fear. Who will restrain prayer
when it is so potent? Who will seek any other ally than God, who is instantly
present so soon as we give the ordained signal, by which we testify both our
need and our confidence?
