• (verse 41-44). There is an important lesson here. It is useless to pray while persisting in sin. The man who does not seek to walk with God has no right to expect anything from Him. “Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thy heart.” “If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you” (Ps. 37:4; John 15:7). This is the key to answered prayer. Obedience gives confidence. (“Chapter 29” by H.A. Ironside)
