It is not faith to expect that
God will perform a miracle;
that God will answer a
troubled plea with a thunder-
bolt and instant correction of
problem or grievance.
God may not change the
way things are, but God will
increase strength and endur-
ance. Rely on faith. Ask God
not for favors, but for the
strength to be a better person..
Do more than pray when
circumstances prevail against
you. Live with your problem;'
try to do something about it
and do not believe you can
transfer it through prayer.
Ask God for greater faith,
not for instant relief.
