Matter of Prayer

Summary

The sermon explores the nature of prayer through the example of Jesus Christ, emphasizing submission to God's will even in suffering. It highlights God's sovereign will as eternal, wise, and omnipotent, working all things according to His counsel, including the allowance of sin and trials for His purposes. The preacher affirms that God is not the author of sin but uses all events, including evil acts and Satan's work, to accomplish His divine plan.
