A. That We Call Upon the One True God with Our Whole Heart – 3 Thoughts
B. That We Thoroughly Know Our Need and Misery;
· That We Thoroughly Know our Need – a Deep Sense of Our Dependency upon God
· That We Thoroughly Know Our Misery – a Deep Sense of Our own Depravity
C. That Our Assurance of God Hearing is Solely Based Upon Christ, as Promised in His Word
