Favell Lee Mortimer preaches on the comforting invitation to approach the throne of grace, assuring a welcome and the granting of petitions to those who ask. Drawing parallels to earthly parents' love and care for their children, she emphasizes God's even greater tenderness towards His children, promising good things to those who seek Him. She contrasts the prayers of the righteous, like David, who earnestly seek God with a whole heart, to the insincere prayers of the wicked who seek earthly desires and make empty vows.

F.B. Meyer emphasizes the importance of setting our hearts to seek the Lord God, as demonstrated by the tribes of Israel who, despite territorial divisions and opposition from their king, journeyed to Jerusalem to worship. This act symbolizes the unity of the Church of Christ, transcending barriers of nationality and social status, as believers come together in prayer and communion. Meyer encourages us to prioritize our spiritual pursuits over worldly challenges, asserting that a determined heart can overcome any opposition in our quest for God.
