Let not the delay of answering your prayers despite your persistence in asking be cause for despair. He has guaranteed answering your prayers with what He decides for you, not with what you choose for yourself, and in the time He pleases, not the time you want.
لَا يَكُنْ تَأَخُّرُ أَمَدَ الْعَطَاءِ مَعَ الْإِلْحَاحِ فِيْ الْدُّعَاءِ- مَوْجِبَاً لِيَأْسِكَ؛ فَهُوَ ضَمِنَ لَكَ الْإِجَابَةَ فِيْمَا يَخْتَارُهُ لَكَ لَا فِيِمَا تَخْتَارُ لِنَفْسِكَ وَفِيْ الْوَقْتِ الَّذِيْ يُرِيْدُ، لَا فِيْ الْوَقْتِ الَّذِيْ تُرِيْدُ
الحِكَم العَطَائِيَّة
