make our requests known unto God

"Surely, amid the accumulating cares of life, feeling oftentimes the need of wisdom to guide, of courage and strength to pursue the steady path of duty amid conflicting elements, we shall do unwisely if we neglect to retire to our closets and make our requests known unto God. He will hear us when we pray, for He cannot lie, and He has said, 'Call upon me in the day of trouble, I will deliver thee and thou shalt glorify me' {Psalm 50:15; Hebrews 13:5-6; James 4:8}."
