Help for Prayers (and Pray-ers)

Come, my soul, thy suit prepare;

Jesus loves to answer prayer;

He himself has bid thee pray,

Therefore will not say thee nay.

Thou art coming to a King;

Large petitions with thee bring;

For his grace and power are such,

None can ever ask too much.

-John Newton, quoted in D. A. Carson, Jesus' Sermon on the Mount
