as quoted in Bill Hybels, Too Busy Not to Pray:

• If the request is wrong, God says, 'No.'
• If the timing is wrong, God says, 'Slow.'
• If I am wrong, God says, 'Grow.'
• If the request is right, the timing is right, and I am right, God says, 'Go!'" (88)

If God granted this request,

• would it bring glory to Him?
• would it advance His Kingdom?
• would it help people?
• would it help me grow spiritually? (92)

"The most common cause of unanswered prayer is prayerlessness" (101.

"When we work, we work; when we pray, God works!" (102)
