Persistent prayer

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: PERSISTENT PRAYER

Jesus told his disciples a story about how they should keep on praying and never give up” (Luke 18:1 CEV).
The King James says that men should always pray and not faint.

Persistent prayer honors God because it expresses our complete dependence on him. Since God knows what we need before we ask him, we don’t have to repeat ourselves to get his attention. But that’s not the whole story. We all know from personal experience that not all our prayers are answered the first time we pray them.

Sometimes we receive immediate answers, but often we must wait days, week, months, or even years before the answer comes.

In our churches we had some people who prayed for years for their loved ones to be saved. I know because they filled out the same prayer request week in and week out.
Is that a lack of faith? To the contrary, repetition is proof of faith.

I would add that it sometimes seems that the more something matters to us, the longer we will have to wait for the answer to come.
This is very often true when we pray for our loved ones to come to Christ, and when we pray to get something very important to our existence
This week as you go on don't ever stop telling God your good heart desire.

LET US PRAY
IN JESUS NAME. LET MY LETTER OF JOY BE DELIVERE TO ME BEFORE THE END OF THIS WEEK.
