Faith Does Not Operate In The Realm Of The Possible. There Is No Glory For God In That Which Is Humanly Possible. Faith Begins Where Man's Power Ends.

On The Ground Of Our Own Goodness We Cannot Expect To Have Our Prayers Answered. But Jesus Is Worthy, And For His Sake We May Have Our Prayers Answered. There Is Nothing Too Choice, Too Costly, Or Too Great For God To Give Him. He Is Worthy. He Is The Spotless, Holy Child, Who Under All Circumstances Acted According To The Mind Of God. And If We Trust In Him, If We Hide In Him, If We Put Him Forward And Ourselves In The Background, Depend On Him And Plead His Name, We May Expect To Have Our Prayers Answered.
