Then shall ye call upon me
When the expected end is about to be given; when God intends and
is about to bestow a mercy, he gives his people a spirit of
prayer to ask for it; and even the promise of it is a
considerable argument to encourage and engage more to pray for
it: and ye shall go and pray unto me:
walk in my ways; so Jarchi, Kimchi, and Ben Melech; or rather ye
shall go into your private closets, or into those public places
where prayer was wont to be made, and there put up your
petitions; or it may be the meaning is, that they should continue
praying unto him; should pray without ceasing, until they enjoyed
the blessing, and had the expected end given them: and I
will hearken unto you:
God is a God hearing prayer; he listens to the requests of his
people, and answers them in his own time and way; which is no
small encouragement to pray unto him.
Jeremiah 29:12
