MHCC 10: The Best We Can Say To God

Matthew Henry, author of A Method for Prayer, writes in his commentary on Gen. 32.9-12:

The best we can say to God in prayer is what he has said to us. God's promises, as they are the surest guide of our desires in prayer, and furnish us with the best petitions, so they are the firmest ground of our hopes, and furnish us with the best pleas. "Lord, thou saidst thus and thus; and wilt thou not be as good as thy word, the word upon which thou had caused me to hope?" Ps. cxix.49.
