2. prayer, or warm desires, in the heart: then

3. the person asks, i.e. makes use of words expressive of his wants and wishes:

4. believes the word of promise, relative to the fulfillment of his wants: and

5. receives, according to the merciful promise of God, the salvation which his soul requires.
