Waiting for Answers to Prayer

WHEN we write a letter to a friend, we expect an answer—we wait for it. We are disappointed if it does not come. When we ask a favor from an intimate friend, we expect to receive it. If we are hungry, and go to the house of a friend and ask for food, we wait with the expectation of seeing it set before us. We do not ask for it and then leave the house with the air of one who expected no favorable reply to his request. How is it with respect to our prayers? Do we wait for them? Are we disappointed when they do not come?—Earnest Christian.
