“It is very apparent from the Word of God that he often tries the
faith and patience of his people, when they are crying to him for some
great and important mercy, by withholding the mercy sought for a season;
and not only so, but at first he may cause an increase of dark
appearances. And yet he, without fail, at last prospers those who
continue urgently in prayer with all perseverance and ‘will not let him
go except he blesses.’”
Jonathan Edwards, “A Call to United Extraordinary Prayer,” in Works (Edinburgh, 1979), II:312.
