"He will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry."  That has comforted me often, more than any promise of answer; it includes answers, and a great deal more besides; it tells us what He is towards us, and that is more than what He will do.  And the "cry" is not long, connected, thoughtful prayers, a cry is just and unworded dart upwards  of the heart, and at that "voice" He will be very gracious.  What a smile there is in these words!  (Frances Ridley Havergal - 1836-1879)
