food for thought

Have you ever prayed so hard for so long that you started losing hope? questioning whether or not God is even listening anymore?

E.M. Bounds on Prayer....(powerful powerful man of God)...if you've been wanting to improve your prayer life....PLLLLLLLLLEASE go to amazon (or something!) and buy his book. He will convict, encourage, move, and motivate you to get on your knees!!

"If Jacob's desire had been given him in time for him to get a good night's sleep, he might never have become the prince of prayers we know today. if Hannah's prayer for a son had been answered at the time she set for herself, the nation might never have know the mighty man of God it found in Samuel. Hannah wanted only a son, BUT GOD wanted more. He wanted a prophet, a savior, and a ruler for His people. Someone said that "God had to get a woman before He could get a man." This woman He got in Hannah. Precisely by those weeks and months and years there came a woman with a vision like God's, with tempered soul and gentle spirit and a seasoned will, prepared to be the kind of a mother for the kind of a man God knew the nation needed" (W.E. Biederwolf), p. 326.
