Faith is holding fast that the seemingly unanswered prayer of many years is not a pointless exercise, but a means through which God accomplishes his great, eternal purposes - in his own time.

Pamela Reeve
Pamela Reeve (1916–2013) war eine US-amerikanische evangelikale Autorin, Seelsorgerin und langjährige Studentendekanin an der Multnomah School of the Bible in Portland, Oregon. Bekanntheit erlangte sie vor allem durch ihren Bestseller „Faith Is...“ sowie durch Andachtsbücher über persönliche Hingabe und die praktische Bewährung des Glaubens im Alltag. Für Bibelleser bieten ihre prägnanten Texte bis heute einprägsame Impulse dazu, wie sich Gottvertrauen in alltäglichen Herausforderungen und Zweifeln konkretisiert.
