Quotable

“To enable us, when the answer to our prayer doesn’t come at once, to combine quiet patience and joyful confidence in our persevering prayers, we must specially try to understand the two words in which our Lord sets forth the character and conduct, not of the unjust judge, but of our God and Father toward those whom He allows to cry day and night to Him: ‘He is long-suffering over them; He will avenge them speedily.’ The blessing is all prepared; He is not only willing but most anxious to give them what they ask…. God will not delay one moment longer than is necessary; He will do all in His power to hasten and speed the answer.” —Andrew Murray
