He is wooing you from the jaws of distress
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."
