LIFE CHANGING PRAYER compiled by Debra Maffett

some good thing, which the Lord has directly or indirectly promised
in his holy word to bestow? The very act itself implies that a blessing
may be given, in answer to our petitions; and his promises assure us
they will — though the time and manner of conferring it, are
reserved to himself. He best knows what will suit us, and the best
possible time of bestowing it. Therefore he who . . .
obeys the divine precepts heartily,
pleads the promises in prayer perseveringly,
waits their fulfillment patiently, and
is content if God be glorified, though he himself is not gratified —
may confidently expect seasonable and suitable answers to all the
prayers he offers in sincerity at the throne of grace, in the name of
Jesus.
