Nothing is impossible,' said one of the seven sages of Greece, 'to industry.' Let us change the word, 'industry,' to 'persevering prayer,' and the motto will be more Christian and more worthy of universal adoption.
God answers all true prayer, either in kind or in kindness.
I never prayed sincerely and earnestly for anything but it came at some time; no matter at how distant a day, somehow, in some shape, probably the least I would have devised, it came.
Our prayers run along one road and God's answers by another, and by and by they meet.
God loves importunate prayer so much that He will not give us much blessing without it.
