“You should feel as if you are a small child and God is your Father… He sees your heart and will give what is best for you. It is like a child that asks his father to buy him a motorcycle because he believes he is old enough, and because the father is afraid something bad will happen to his child, he may be slow to grant the child what he wants, but in the end he buys the child a car.”
(Elder Paisios on Prayer and God’s Answers)
