The Throne of Grace

The writer of the following pages has endeavored to set forth the duty-the privilege-and the blessedness of humble, earnest, persevering prayer. He has attempted no particular arrangement of the subject, but has sought to bring before his readers some of those gracious invitations and sweet promises of the Word of God, which our Heavenly Father has given to allure and attract us to a Throne of Grace. In so doing, he has made it his chief aim to represent Christ Jesus as the only, all-sufficient Savior and High Priest, through whom alone we can draw near to God, and for whose sake alone, God has graciously promised to hearken to our prayers-to pardon our sins-to help our infirmities-and to bestow upon us whatever things He knows in His unerring wisdom to be needful, or expedient for us.
