Are not those mercies you expect from God worth the waiting for? If not, it is your folly to be troubled for the want of them: If they be, why don't you continue waiting? Is it not all that God expects from you for the mercies he bestows upon you, that you wait upon him for them? You know you have not deserved the least of them at his hands. You expect them not as a recompense, but a free favour, and if so, then certainly the least you can do, is to wait upon his pleasure for them.
