Courage Quote by Beth Moore
““God can delight in our courage to pray big prayers without necessarily giving us what we ask. Said another way, God can say yes to the heart of our prayer without saying yes to the request of our prayer. He will approve of the petitioner even when, for whatever reason, He can’t approve the petition. I’m convinced God is more pleased””
