Amidst the multitude
of supplicants who daily and hourly present their various
petitions
(Arthur Pink)
The omniscience of God is an encouragement to prayer. There is no
cause for fearing that the petitions of the righteous will not be
heard, or that their sighs and tears shall escape the notice of
God-since He knows the thoughts and intents of the heart.
There is no danger of the individual saint being overlooked
amidst the multitude of supplicants who daily
and hourly present their various petitions, for an
infinite mind is as capable of paying the same attention to
millions, as if only one individual were seeking its attention.
So too the lack of appropriate language, the inability to give
expression to the deepest longing of the soul-will not jeopardize
our prayers, for "It shall come to pass, that before they call, I
will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear" (Isaiah
65:24).
