John Chrysostom on Prayer


"Whether, therefore, we receive what we ask for, or do not receive it, let us still continue steadfast in prayer. For to fail in obtaining the desires of our heart, when God so wills it, is not worse than to receive it; for we know not as He does, what is profitable to us."  John Chrysostom (345?, Syria - 407), Patriarch of Constantinople (Istanbul, Turkey)
