I will (do it.) Matthew 8:3. And what is that? Whatever thou desired. For, the Lord will fulfil the desire of them that fear him, Psalms 145:19.

Yea, he does exceeding abundantly, above all that we ask or think, granting not only according to the notion of our narrow hearts, but according to the riches of his glory, as becomes his majesty. Christ delights in great petitions, for he is a great Lord, and is rich unto all that call upon him. He has all the riches of his merits and gifts not for himself, (since being the very God, he wanted nothing for himself) but only for us, even the rebellious, who sincerely call upon him. Therefore what he has as mediator is not his, but all belongs to me, if I but call upon him.

O my soul, pray to him; nay, be much in prayer, and as often as thou pourest out thy soul before him in prayer, let nothing resound in thy heart but these words, I will. I will do it. As God can never lie, there is not one single groan lost; but every one will be found to be a chaff, yea, a jewel in the life to come, by which thy riches are increased, and one treasure put to another. O how much is there neglected in this already! Why should you not be earnest and instant now to redeem that little remaining part of thy time, by prayer, for eternity, to lay up there many treasures, and richly adorn thy crown. O Lord, grant that this may be done.

Now is the time he bends his ear,
And waits for your request;
Come, lest he rouse his wrath, and swear.
Ye shall not see my rest.
