tion;
and,
therefore,
it
is
not
that
sort
of
prayer
which
God
demands
or
desires
of
them.
My
dear
friends,
whoever
you
may
be,
who
desire
to
be
saved,
come
unto
God
in
prayer.
"I
counsel
thee
to
buy
of
me
gold
tried
in
the
fire,
that
thou
mayest
be
rich"
(Rev.
iii.
i8).
It
is
easily
to
be
obtained,
far
more
easily
than
you
could
ever
imagine.
Come,
all
ye
that
are
athirst,
and
take
this
water
of
life
freely
(see
Rev.
xxii.
17).
Do
not
amuse
yourselves
by
hewing
out
to
yourselves
**
broken
cis-terns
that
can
hold
no
water"
(Jer.
ii.
13).
Come,
hungry
souls,
who
find
nothing
that
can
satisfy
you,
and
you
shall
be
filled.
Come,
poor
afflicted
ones,
weighed
down
with
griefs
and
sorrows,
and
you
shall
be
comforted.
Come,
sick
ones,
to
the
great
Physician,
and
do
not
fear
to
approach
Him
because
you
are
so
weak
and
diseased
:
expose
all
your
diseases
to
Him,
and
they
shall
be
healed.
Come,
children,
to
your
Father
;
He
will
receive
you
with
open
arms
of
love.
Come,
wandering
and
scattered
sheep,
to
your
Shepherd.
Come,
sin-ners,
to
your
Saviour.
Come,
ignorant
and
foolish
