Don’t give up
asking. Our tendency is to give up on
God way too easily. We pray for a while
over people and things and when we don’t see the results we want to see, we
give up. We think God’s lack of response
to honor our requests is a no. We seldom
have the determination to keep on praying over that which is not given to us
right away.
Yet, Jesus tells us to
keep on praying, to not give up.
Persistence in prayer is a must.
We don’t know how often we should pray for something so we keep on
praying. We don’t know what the Lord is
doing in heaven in response to our praying so we keep on praying. We don’t know the things that have to fall
into place on earth in order for our prayers to be answered so we keep on
praying. We don’t know how our praying
will affect us, so we keep on praying.
We don’t know when the timing is right for our prayers to be answered,
so we keep on praying.
One thing that does
happen when we persevere in praying is that we draw closer to the Lord. The more time we spend with Him, the more
precious He becomes to us and the more likely we are to pray submissively to
His will.
Don’t give up praying
for people or over the circumstances of life.
God answers our praying at just the right time and in the right
way. Our prayers never fall on deaf
ears. Our Father knows just how to
respond to our prayers and He always does so out of the goodness of His heart. His answers may be immediate, delayed for a
while, or a denial, but don’t give up praying.
It is the best medicine for the soul you will ever find.
