on him in whom they have not believed.’
Christian prayer is called the prayer of faith
(James v. 15). ’I will that men everywhere
lift up holy hands, without wrath and doubting
(1 Tim. ii. 8). Draw near in full assurance of
faith’ (Heb. x. 22). The same expressions
that are used, in Scripture, for faith, may well be
used for prayer also; such as coming to God
or Christ, and looking to Him. ’In
whom we have boldness and access with confidence,
by the faith of him’ (Eph. iii. 12).”
