“Having opened the wounds of sin, both the guilt of it, and
the power of it, and its remainders in us, we must next seek God for the
remedy, for healing and help, and from him alone it is to be expected, and he
will for this be inquired of by us. And now we must affect our hearts with a
deep sense of the need we have of those mercies which we pray for, that we are
undone, forever undone, without them; and with a high esteem and value for
them, that we are happy, we are made for ever, if we obtain them; that we may
be like Jacob, wrestle with him in prayer, as for our lives, and the lives of
our souls.”
-Matthew Henry Puritan
