Saturday of Lent Week 2

"If He is slow in granting your request, when you asked without receiving promptly, then be not distressed. For you are not wiser than God. When you remain as you are, [it is] either because your behavior does not agree with your request, or because the ways of your heart diverge from the aim of your prayer, or because your inner state is childish in comparison with the greatness of the thing" (from The Mystical Treatises of St. Isaac of Niniveh, Homily 3, 33).
