"I worship Him with my supplications, while I am confident and certain that my supplications shall be answered."

Ibn al-Jawzī [Captured Thoughts, P. 730]

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said:

“If Shaytān ever whispers to your heart saying, 'How long have you been supplicating but you still see no answer?' Let your answer be, 'I worship Him with my supplications, while I am confident and certain that my supplications shall be answered. Yet, maybe the answer is postponed to bring forth a goodness that is for my interest for answers come when the time comes. And even if no answer is noted, it suffices the humility and worship I am in.'”
