“My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Phil. 4:19.
4. Do we always know what to pray for?
“Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought.” Rom. 8:26.
5. Does God always see fit to grant our petitions?
“For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Cor. 12:8, 9.
Note.—Paul's affliction, it seems, was impaired sight. Acts 9:8, 9, 18; 22:11-13. The retaining of this imperfection would be a constant reminder to him of his conversion, and hence a blessing in disguise.
6. If an answer does not come at once, what should we do?
“Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.” Ps. 37:7.
7. Why was the parable of the importunate widow given?
“And He spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” Luke 18:1.
