[QUOTE="Penitent, post: 1558810, member: 20857"] Read Luke 11:5-9 and 18:1-8. I understand your logic, but it is flawed. We need to keep asking until we receive what we are asking for. If God doesn't give you what you are asking for, it is because He is going to answer your prayer in another way such that what you receive will be even better than what you are asking for (and what you are asking for is unprofitable for you). Thank God either way. Abbot Tryphon compares prayer to playing piano. You have to continuously practice the same piece over and over to get good at it. I assume you are talking about how the wick turns into the shape of an inverted fountain pen tip. To some extent this is unavoidable. Floating wick holders are far superior to the kind that rest across the top of the glass. You don't have to trim them as much and they last much longer without having to fuss over the flame and wick. You also can just dip them into the oil to extinguish the flame, which would solve the problem you are having. [ATTACH type="full"]35925[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
