The Saints in Scripture have been not only a praying generation, but a waiting generation; the old Testament Believers waited for the Promise of the Messiah: 1It is said of good old Simeon, He waited for the consolation of Israel: And the Primitive believers in the new Testament (after Christs Ascension) were commanded by our Lord, to wait for the Promise of the Father, 2which (said he) ye have heard of me; namely, the Promise of the Holy Ghost, which should fill their hearts with assurance, and seal them up to the day of Redemption.

Indeed there is Patience in Faith as well as Power, it knoweth as well how to stay the Lords leisure as to wrestle with him for the blessing. Indeed it is a rare temper to be importunate with God and Christ, willing to stay Gods leisure; but it is most excellent, and there is nothing lost by it.
