"If, then, you thus persist with all your strength and soul, knocking,
begging, and asking Him, He will not abandon you but, whether through
Himself or through one of His servants, He will teach you as many things as
you need to do and, through His grace and the prayers of His servant, will
grant you the strength to accomplish them. For without Him you will be able
to do nothing. He, though, as I have just said, will be all things to you
unceasingly. And if He does not become all things, at least you will be
found to be seeking Christ at the hour of your death, at least you will be
found subject to His friends and authorities and serving Him through them -
for the will of God is the will of His servants - at least you will be
found working and not idle, in humility and not in conceit."
St. Symeon the New Theologian.
"But I am poor and needy; Make haste to me, O God! You are my help and my
deliverer; O Lord, do not delay." Psalm 70:5
Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
