Some people pray and then sit down to wait for God to send an answer, ready-made, before they do anything. That is not the best way. Pray; then, without waiting, go to work, that you may be ready to meet the answer. When you pray for rain, hasten to get your rain-water barrel out, even tho no cloud is in sight. God controls the clouds. You control the barrel. Answers to prayer seldom come to idle men.—Anon.
