Prayers are heard in heaven very much in proportion to our faith.
Little faith will get very great mercies, but great faith still greater.
It was the custom in old times, for all the poor in the parish to call
at every house with bowls for provisions; and whatever size the bowl
was, every generous person would fill it. Faith is our bowl: if we have
got only “little faith,” we shall get that filled; but if we have got
“great faith,” we shall have that filled also. Little faith getteth
much; but great faith is a noble and princely merchant, and doth a great
trade–it obtaineth millions where little faith only gaineth hundreds.
Great faith getteth hold of God’s treasure.
