Do not be discouraged, dearly beloved, because God bears long with you - because He does not seem to answer your prayers.When the merchant sends his ships to distant shores, he does not expect them to come back richly laden in a single day. He has great patience.... Perhaps your prayers will come back like the ships of the merchant - all the more heavily laden with blessings because of the delay.
