The Spirit Of Prayer

Christ our High Priest leads his people in prayer. He brings them before his Father, and our Father. His God and our God. Jehovah God delights to hear the prayers of his saints for Christ's sake. He hears their prayers and he shows he answers their prayers. This is contrasted from the wicked in verses 4-6. The children of God have often struggled with passages like this because they see sin present in their members / flesh. But the wicked here are those who would dare come to God outside of Christ; trusting in their own righteousness. Believe Christ. Trust him, who leads us into the presence of God. We are heard, not because of what we do or don't do, but for Christ's sake.
