It is not that God is stingy and must be coaxed, for He "giveth liberally
and upbraideth not." It is that we ourselves are so shallow and sinful that
we need to tarry before Him until our restless natures can be stilled and
the clamor of outside voices be deadened so that we can hear His voice. Such
a state is not easily reached, and the men God uses have paid a price in
wrestlings and prevailing prayer. But it is such men who rise from their
knees confident of His power and go forth to speak with authority.
