We find that delay is often the test and the strength of faith. How much patience is required when these times of testing come! Yet, faith gathers strength by waiting and praying. Patience has its perfect work in the school of delay. In some instances, delay is of the very nature of the prayer. God has to do many things before He gives the final answer.They are things that are essential to the lasting good of the person who is requesting the favor from Him.

Faith in Christ is the basis of all working and all praying. All wonderful works depend on wonderful praying and all praying is done in the name of Jesus Christ. The amazing, simple lesson is this praying in the name of Jesus! All other conditions are of little value. Everything else is given up except Jesus.
