Steve alerted me to this quote, which is a good companion to yesterday’s thoughts on perseverance in prayer:
If, finally, after a long wait, our minds cannot grasp what is the point of our praying, and do not feel that it leads to anything, our faith will nonetheless make us certain of what our senses cannot perceive - that we have obtained everything that was necessary to us. By faith we shall then possess abundance in want and comfort in grief. In fact, even if we have to go without everything, God will never abandon us, for he cannot disappoint the expectation and patience of those who are his. He, on his own, will take the place of everything, for he contains in himself everything that is good – a fact he will fully reveal in the future.
John Calvin, Truth For All Time
