Be persistent
What do you do when you become
exhausted in prayer,
desperate of ever seeing God answer?
Do you give up?
Do not quit. Do not lose hope. In Luke 11:1 - 13 Jesus tells us to persist until we see the answer. We are to keep on asking until it is given to us. We are to keep on seeking until we find it. We are to keep on knocking until the door is opened. Ask, seek, and knock are all present tense verbs here in the original Greek, which means that they speak of continuous or habitual action. Therefore, if we believe Jesus means what He says, we will do what He tells us to do.
One of the major keys to answered prayer is persistence. . . .
Bear in mind that God’s ways is not our ways. If there is a delay in the answer, you can be sure it is because God has a purpose.
