"Though God be most high, yet He condescends so low, as to take care that all things are made to work for good to His people. This is a good reason why we should pray earnestly. And when David was in the greatest distress and disgrace, he did not pray, "Lord, exalt me," but, "Lord, exlat your own name." Our best encouragement in prayer, is taken from the glory of God, and to that, more than to our own comfort, we should have regard in all our petitions for mercy."
~Matthew Henry's Daily Readings, August 27
