Abstract
Sermon notes by Edward Hitchcock for a sermon delivered at Amherst College in November 1855 and again in June 1861, on the circumstances causing people to fervently turn to prayer. Using the prayerful cries in Psalm 130:1, Lamentations 3:55, and Jonah 2:2 as examples, Hitchcock notes that men demonstrate the true spirit of prayer when they have no hope of help from other people, are in such a low condition that God can grant them great mercies, and when they have strong earnestness and faith. Such prayers are most likely to obtain an answer from God, and can come from many conditions of existence, such as deep anxiety due to sin, or peril due to sickness, accident, poverty, persecution, or other afflictions. Hitchcock has written related hymns on the last page.
