with_o paul_n sufficient_a grace_n and_o strength_n to_o bear_v be_v the_o thing_n promise_v use_v 1._o we_o see_v then_o that_o they_o be_v mistake_v that_o think_v christ_n promise_n of_o give_v

a_o strong_a believer_n all_o that_o god_n have_v promise_v and_o we_o be_v fit_a to_o receive_v god_n will_v be_v sure_a to_o give_v 2._o let_v not_o unbelief_n get_v advantage_n by_o god_n not_o

2._o why_o do_v christ_n pray_v against_o his_o cup_n 3._o you_o lose_v not_o prayer_n you_o draw_v near_a god_n you_o exercise_v repentance_n and_o desire_n you_o signify_v your_o dependence_n you_o be_v prepare_v for_o much_o great_a gift_n obs_n 15._o when_o god_n will_v not_o take_v the_o thorn_n out_o of_o our_o flesh_n and_o deliver_v we_o when_o we_o pray_v from_o bodily_a suffering_n he_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o do_v better_a for_o prepare_v person_n even_o to_o give_v they_o his_o sufficient_a grace_n and_o manifest_v his_o strength_n in_o their_o pain_n and_o weakness_n it_o be_v
