Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken. - Psalm 62:5-6
Our too-easy-neglect of looking for answers to what we ask God shows how weak we are in earnest expectations of our petitions. If the husbandman is not content without the harvest; if a golf player would expectantly observe whether the ball hits the target; if a physician carefully watches the effect of the medicine which he gives; should the Christian be careless about the effect of his labor of love? Every prayer of the Christian, made in faith, according to the will of God, offered up in the name of Jesus Christ, and under the influence of the Spirit, whether for physical or for spiritual blessings, will be fully answered.
