Norman Vincent Peale Quotes:
Ocupation: Author
Life: May 31, 1898 - December 24, 1993
Birthday: May 31
Death: December 24
God in His answers to prayer often says "Yes." Sometimes He says "Wait." Often He says "No." In any case, His will is done, and true faith is to believe that what happened has happened for the best. If one does not take that attitude, he is setting his personal desire against the wisdom of God. Oftentimes we confuse with faith merely that which we desire.
