"ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE."

By Venn

I find, with regard to myself, that the benefit of prayers, and other means of grace, bears exact proportion to the care I take to implore the influence and operation of the Spirit in them; that when I am only a little concerned in asking of the Lord the inestimable comfort of his help, my spiritual duties afford me little comfort in the exercise, and leave no lasting impressions. On the contrary, when I am importunate with the Lord to put life and power into the ordinances, and to make me feel some correspondent affections, I am enabled to say, “Truly, our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.”—Venn.
