I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Here come the angels, here come saints, Here comes the Spirit of God, To comfort us in our restraints Under the wicked's rod. God sometimes visits prisons more Than lordly palaces, He often knocketh at our door, When he their houses miss. The truth and life of heavenly things Lift up our hearts on high, And carry us on eagles' wings, Beyond carnality.
Its present influence, and its future consequences, are so wonderful, that it becomes us to cherish an immediate and incessant solicitude upon the subject. Look upward Almighty love "waits to be gracious" Is it not recorded, and can it ever be forgotten, that "every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened?
