CO 1:10{"The Lord hath heard the voice of my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer." "The Lord hath dealt bountifully with me," comes first; then follows, "Deal bountifully with Thy servant"; and then, "Thou shalt deal bountifully with me." "The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad," leads us on to the prophecy, "Be glad and rejoice, for the Lord will do great things." The same argument is used in prayer. "Pardon, I beseech Thee, the iniquity of Thy people... as Thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now." "Thou hast delivered my soul from death; wilt Thou not deliver my feet from falling?" So in the lovely typical request of Achsah to her father, "Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water." The basis for such expressions of trust and petition are found in Rom. 8:32,32He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:32) "He that spared not His own Son"—there is the entirely incontrovertible fact of what He hath done—"shall He not with Him also freely give us all things"—there is the inspired conclusion of what He will do.
All my desire Thou grantest, whatso’er
I ask! Was ever mythic tale or dream
So bold as this reality—this stream
Of boundless blessings flowing full and free?
Yet more than I have thought or asked of Thee,
Out of Thy royal bounty still Thou givest me.
