BE PERSISTENT IN PRAYER

Matthew 18:7


"And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will He keep putting them off?"NIV

"And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he hear long with them?" KJV

How often have we prayed to God about a great need, but we still don't have the answers? Perhaps we wonder if He has even heard us. Maybe we start to think He doesn't really care. Why doesn't He answer us? It's so easy to get discouraged and just stop praying about the situations. Jesus teaches us that we should persist in our prayers and not give up. He is in control and He is always working to bring the answers in His way and His time. Faith is the key to persevere with confidence knowing that He is faithful and the answers will come.

Heavenly Father, forgive us for getting impatient and discouraged when we don't see answers to our prayers. Help us to exercise our faith so we will be persistent and know the answer is on the way, Your way. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
