E M Bounds – Quote of the Week

July 27, 2013 By Jean Wise

“I think Christians fail so often to get answers to their prayers because they do not wait long enough on God. 

They just drop down and say a few words, and then jump up and forget it and expect God to answer them. 

Such praying always reminds me of the small boy ringing his neighbor’s doorbell and then running away as fast as he can go.”  


E. M. Bounds

    I love the photo you’ve paired with this quote. We just don’t stop long enough for the kettle to boil.
