Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. - Psalms 81:10

The word of God affords all possible encouragement to earnest, fervent prayer; men ought always to pray, and not to faint. Believers should ask all they want of God as their heavenly Father; they should ask of Him because He has bidden them, and expect to receive because He is faithful.

Are our wants many this morning? Our God bids us open our mouths wide, and promises to fill them. We should ask largely, for God considers Himself honoured when we ask for much, and expect much. He rejoices over us to do us good. He looks upon us as His dear children, and pledges Himself to give all that we want, or can use to His glory.

Let us then ask for a supply of every want; let us continue to plead His largest promises; and let us continue to plead in the name of Jesus until we receive. Our God heareth prayer; and if we, being evil, know how to give good things unto our children, much more will our heavenly Father give good things unto them that ask Him.

Let us therefore come boldly unto a throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace.

Thou art coming to a King Large petitions with thee bring; For His grace and power are such, none can ever ask too much: He Himself has bid thee pray, Therefore will not say thee nay.
