THE PEOPLE OF A PRAYER-HEARING GOD

III. He is always ready to interpose for them; you may ask, command.
IV. He has ample ability and resources for their help.

Isaiah 45:11-13

11 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.

12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will directa all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.
