When we pray for something which we want very much, it is good to remember that our Father delights to give us joy and so there is no need to press Him as if He were unwilling. To do that always seems to me to be unkind. It is as if we had not a very loving Father.
Yet He has told us to ask for what our hearts desire and so it is right to ask, and to ask earnestly, only with this "if" in the depths of our hearts, "If it be Thy blessed will, if it be for Thy glory."--Edges of His Ways, Amy Carmichael
