Though God hears all our prayers He does not always respond. Our situation is like that of a child who calls for his mother, but the mother does not think it necessary to come. She sends him a plaything to keep him quit. But when the child refuses to be comforted by anything except the mother's presence, she comes.
If you want to know God, you must be like the naughty baby who cries till the mother comes. - Paramahansa Yogananda, "How You Can Talk With God"
You can't just sit there and wait for succes to fall into your lap; once your course is set and your will is firm, you have to make a practical effort. Then you will see thet whatever you require for success starts coming to you. Everything will push you in the right direction. In your divinely surcharged will power is the answer to prayer. When you use that will, you open the way through which your prayers can be answered. - Paramahansa Yogananda, "Man's Eternal Quest"
