And make conscience of that great duty of constant and fervent prayer to me; which is an acknowledgment of thy subjection to me, and of thy trust and dependence upon me, and therefore is pleasing to me. In the day of trouble; when trouble comes, do not avoid it by sinful shifts, not trust to creatures for relief, as hypocrites generally do, but give glory to me, by relying upon my promises, and expect help from me by hearty and unfeigned prayer. Thou shalt glorify me: this is mentioned, either,
1. As a privilege; thou shalt have occasion to praise and glorify me for thy deliverance. Or,
2. As a further duty; thou shalt give me the glory of thy deliverance by praising me for it, and improving it to my service and glory.
