No one can believe how powerful prayer is, and what it is able to effect, except those who have learned it by experience. It is a great matter when in extreme need, to take hold on prayer. I know that whenever I have earnestly prayed, I have been amply heard, and have obtained more than I prayed for. God, indeed, sometimes delayed, but at last He came.
Martin Luther
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Revelation 14:12

God has promised forgiveness to your repentance, but He has not promised tomorrow to your procrastination.
Augustine

And Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will make you become fishers of men.”

Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Selah Our God is a God of salvation, and to God, the Lord, belong deliverances from death.
Psalm 68:19-20
The English Standard Version
The woods are made for the hunters of dreams,
The brooks for the fishers of song;
To the hunters who hunt for the gunless game
The streams and the woods belong.

Our immediate temptation will be to ask for specific solutions to specific problems, and for the ability to help other people as we have already thought they should be helped. In that case, we are asking God to do it our way.

Study universal holiness of life. Your whole usefulness depends on this….Give yourself to prayer, and get your texts, your thoughts, your words from God. Luther spent his best three hours in prayer.
