Asks Quote by Charles Spurgeon
“I need not ask whether I may call on Him or not, for that word 'Whosoever' is a very wide and comprehensive one...My case is urgent, and I do not see how I am to be delivered; but this is no business of mine. He who makes the promise will find ways and means of keeping it. It is mine to obey His commands; it is not mine to direct His counsels. I am His servant, not His solicitor. I call upon Him, and He will deliver.”

It would be appropriate for them to say…” quote by Ted Olson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/8b8/ted-olson-28366_administration_it-happens-every-once-in-awhile-at-the-f_334545.jpg)
