When prayers fail, it’s mostly due to a lack of patience!
“It is not enough to begin to pray, nor to pray aright; nor is it enough to continue for a time to pray; but we must patiently, believingly, continue in prayer until we obtain an answer.
Further, we have not only to continue in prayer until the end, but have also to believe that God does hear us and will answer our prayers. Most frequently we fail in not continuing in prayer until the blessing is obtained, and in not expecting the blessing.” – George Müller
“The devil knows if he can capture your thought life he has won a mighty victory over you.” －Smith Wigglesworth
“The devil knows is he can get you to doubt God and waver for a minute or two, then he has successfully moved you out of trust in God and into distrust and doubt. －Johnson and Pearl
“As long as we are able to trust in God, holding fast in our heart that He is able and willing to help those who rest on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation and in all matters that are for His glory and their good, the heart remains calm and peaceful. It is only when we practically let go of faith in His power or His love that we lose our peace and become troubled.” －George Muller
“Then we should continue in prayer until the blessing is granted, without fixing a time when, or the circumstances under which, God should give the answer. Patience should be constantly exercised in connection with our prayer. －George Muller
“We should, at the same time, look out for and expect an answer until it comes. If we pray in this way, we shall not only have answers, thousands of answers to our prayers, but our own souls will be greatly refreshed and invigorated in connection with these answers.” －George Muller
“Many of the dear children of God stagger, because prayer is not at once answered. And because for weeks, months, and years prayer remains unanswered, they cease to ask God, and thus they lose the blessing that, had they persevered, they would assuredly have obtained. When the heart is prepared for the blessing, it will be given by God.” －George Muller
“After many hours of prayer, faith, and patience, God’s help comes at last! How sweet is that! What a reward you receive for trusting God and waiting patiently for His deliverance!” －George Muller
“In the greatest difficulties, in the heaviest trials, in the deepest poverty and necessities, He has never failed me; but because I was enabled by His grace to trust Him. He has always appeared for my help. I delight in speaking well of His name.” －George Muller
