        We have too little faith. We limit the Holy One of Israel. We should
      
      
        be grateful that God condescends to use any of us as His instruments.
      
      
        For every earnest prayer put up in faith for anything, answers will be
      
      
        returned. They may not come just as we have expected; but they will
      
      
        come—not perhaps as we have devised, but at the very time when we
      
      
        most need them. But, oh, how sinful is our unbelief! “If ye abide in
      
      
        Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall
      
      
        be done unto you.”
