" If you ask for wealth, you may not get it; for it is a small and paltry[5] thing which the Lord may not care to give you. But if you ask for eternal life, you shall have it; for this is a great thing and God delights to give the greatest blessings to those who come to Him by Christ Jesus, so that what might seem to hinder should now encourage!”–1894, Sermon 2380 "
