We should ask God to increase our hope when it is small, awaken it when it is dormant, confirm it when it is wavering, strengthen it when it is weak, and raise it up when it is overthrown"
We must not think that [God] takes no notice of us, when He does not answer our wishes: for He has a right to distinguish what we actually need"
Doubtful prayer is no prayer at all"
