The intimate relation subsisting between God and His people
The intimate relation subsisting between God and His people suggests strong encouragement in their supplications at the throne of grace.
The Lord God is more ready to give good things to them that ask Him than earthly parents are go give to their children. They may be poor, niggardly, or hard-hearted; whereas the treasures of our heavenly Father are inexhaustible, His liberality is unbounded, and His compassions never fail. (R. Macculloch.)
