He is wooing you from the jaws of
distress
to a spacious place free from restriction,
to a spacious place free from restriction,
to the comfort of your table laden
with choice food. - Job
36:16
"In
prayer one must hold fast and never let
go,
because the one who gives up loses all.
If it seems that
no
one is listening to you, then cry out even
louder.
If
you are driven out of one door, go back in by the
other.
If
you are told, as was the Canaanite woman, that you do not
deserve
the
grace for which you are asking, then reply like
her
that you are not seeking unusual favors, but are hoping
only
to eat the crumbs which fall from the divine
table."
