Prayers Which are not Answered
Psalm 22:2
O my God, I cry in the day time, but you hear not; and in the night season, and am not silent.


They that have conduit water come into their houses, if no water come they do not conclude the spring to be dry, but the pipes to be stopped or broken. If prayer speed not, we must be sure that the fault is not in God, but in ourselves; were we but ripe for mercy, He is ready to extend it to us, and even waits for the purpose.

(John Trapp.)
