“On the ground of our own goodness we cannot expect to have our prayers answered. But Jesus is worthy, and for His sake we may have our prayers answered. There is nothing too choice, too costly, or too great for God to give Him. He is worthy. He is the spotless, holy Child, who under all circumstances acted according to the mind of God. And if we trust in Him, if we hide in Him, if we put Him forward and ourselves in the background, depend on Him and plead His name, we may expect to have our prayers answered.” IfsGivingMindMayChildrenChoicesJesusNamesPrayerDependsCircumstancesHolyGoodnessSakeWorthyBackgroundsOur PrayersAnswered Prayers Author:George Muller
