Hugh Binning, Works, p. 265:

There is much in the scripture, both exhorted, commanded, and commended, of that παρρησια, that liberty and boldness of pouring out our requests to God, as one that certainly will hear us, and grant that which is good. Unbelief spoileth all. It is a wretched and base-spirited thing, that can conceive no honourable thoughts of God, but only like itself. But faith is the well-pleasing ingredient of prayer. The lower thoughts a man has of himself, it maketh him conceive the higher and more honourable of God. “My ways are not your ways, nor my thoughts as your thoughts, but as far above as the heavens above the earth,” Isa. 55:8. This is the rule of a believing soul’s conceiving of God, and expecting from him; and when a soul is thus placed on God, by trusting and believing in him, it is fixed: “His heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord,” Ps. 112:7.
