My Utmost for His Highest

If I say, "I will wait till I get into the circumstances and then put God to the test," I shall find I cannot. I must get the thing settled between my self and God in the secret places of my soul where no stranger intermeddles, and then I can go forth with the certainty that the battle is won. Lose it there, and calamity and disaster and upset are as sure as God's decree. The reason the battle is not won is because I try to win it in the external world first. Get alone with God, fight it out before Him, settle the matter there once and for all.

Sandy V always tells me to pray about something for 24 hours before bringing the issue to the surface. By then, God will either take care of it, or he'll give you the exact words to say to make the solution happen.
