Our text gives us instruction from our God about the blessed privilege of prayer. I do not pretend to know a great deal about the subject- but I do know what God has taught me and is teaching me.--Prayer is one of the most important aspects of every believer's life. Yet, it is one with which we struggle constantly. It is a subject about which there is enormous confusion, even among God's elect. I cannot think of a single text in Scripture which gives us more encouragement and reason to pray than Hebrews 4-16.
