The Prayer of God's Children

An excerpt from No Condemnation in Christ Jesus by Octavius Winslow:

"The Eternal [God], whose ear bends to the softest whisper, and hearkens to the gentlest sigh of His child, a confession, or a request, which shall not be unheard, unheeded or forgotten."


How precious to think that the Loving Father delights in the prayers of His children (Proverbs 15:8). None of us pray as we ought. God doesn't require eloquence of prayer because who is eloquent compared to God? We are children, poor, in-firmed children weakly stammering before our God. But we have a loving Father who hears our prayers because He loves us and because we have a Glorious Saviour who mediates and intercedes for us that we me boldly come before the throne of grace and the blessed Spirit who helps our infirmities as we pray.
