"If all things could be known to us as they are known to God, we should bless him with all our hearts for keeping us under the smarting rod, and not sparing us for our crying. If we could know the end as well as the beginning, we should praise the Lord for closed doors, and frowning looks, and unanswered petitions...If we can glorify God by being denied what we seek, we desire to be denied. Greatest of all our prayers, and sum of all the rest is this one, "Nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt."
- Charles Sturgeon, According To Promise
