Quote

There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.

The greatest tragedy in life is that some prayers go unanswered as they go unasked.

God answers prayers, but he doesn't always answer it your way.

The best prayers have often more groans than words.

The fewer the words, the better the prayer.

Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again.

If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.

Some indeed have tears naturally, when the higher motion of the soul makes itself felt in the lower, or because God our Lord, seeing that it would be good for them, allows them to melt into tears. But this does not mean that they have greater charity or that they are more effective than others who enjoy no tears.
