Our Prayer is to You, O Lord, in the Multitude of Your Mercy
In God’s timing and season, “that may be receive with pleasure,” our prayers to the Lord are answered. They are answered because of God’s “great number” of mercies to us. They are answered due to the “overflowing quantity” of God’s loving-kindness or “tender regard (and) favor.” He hears our prayers in the truth or in the “exact accordance with that which is,” i.e., the salvation of Jesus or “the redemption of man from the bondage of sin and liability to eternal death, and the conferring on him everlasting happiness. This is the great salvation.” (Quotes from Noah Webster 1828 Dictionary)
But as for, my prayer is to You, O Lord. At an acceptable and opportune time, O God , in the multitude of Your mercy and the abundance of Your loving-kindness hear me, and in the truth and faithfulness of Your salvation answer me. Psalm 69:13 AMPC (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition)
