“Matthew Henry said, “When God intends great mercy for His people, He sets them apraying.” Indeed, when God wants anything accomplished in His Kingdom, He moves men to pray. God is always the initiator. All effectual prayer was moving in the heart of God before ever it began to move in the heart of man. What Kepler said as he unlocked the secrets of the heavens, could well be said by the man who prays in the Spirit: “O God, I am thinking Thy thoughts after Thee.”
