“Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel
Paul prayed three times, asking the Lord to remove the thorn from his flesh, but was told. “My grace is sufficient for thee.” Did he then pray a fourth time? NO. Once the Lord had spoken, the issue was settled by his word, If you pray after having received the promise, you will reintroduce doubt. Since God has already given you a word and you are in possession of faith, you ought instead to praise.
If you continue to pray, you will merely dissipate your faith. To pray on is to pray out faith and give place to doubt. By doing so, you show that you do not believe what God has already told you. Even in human relationships, you will certainly ask if you have received no promise; but once the promise is given, do you not then give thanks?
