Expectant Prayer

A condition of acceptable prayer is confident expectation of an answer. This, in turn, is founded on the exceeding great and precious promises of God's Word. The fulfillment of these promises requires that we should sow the seed beside all waters, invoke and depend upon the divine blessing, and that we should also thrust in the sickle and gather the harvest. If we pray and faint not, if we labor and are not weary, we are assured we shall reap in due season.--Anon
