PERSISTENT PRAYER


As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing
to pray for you.

An important aspect of prayer is to pray patiently. God meets our needs "at
the proper time" (

6e9> Galatians 6:9). Too often Christians weary of praying, and give up.
This is often justified on the basis that God's failure to answer means the
request is not according to His will. Remember, God can:

Deliver - whatever we ask in His name;

Delay - to fit His perfect timing (only He sees the end from the beginning);

Deny - and say 'No' because we ask amiss or give a

Different and better answer.

Jesus urges us to be persistent in prayer (

XRld2F5LmNvbS9wYXNzYWdlLz9zZWFyY2g9THVrZS4xMS41LUx1a2UuMTEuOA/5ef562bd102223
74f46b6174D76918f53> Luke 11:5-8). This does not mean that God does not want
to meet our needs and that we need to try to persuade Him. It simply means
that only God, who completely understands the whole situation, can know when
and how to answer. Only when we have assurance in our hearts from the Lord,
should we remove a matter from our prayer list.

Many times Christians lose heart in prayer because they do not recognize
when the Lord does answer their prayers. Sometimes this is due to the fact
that they did not pray specifically enough and sometimes because they have
decided in advance how God must answer. Perhaps they think that only a great
miracle can meet their need.

But the Lord may change the circumstances so that the need seems to be
supplied "naturally." Mature believers will recognize that the events of
everyday life also come from the Lord. Our daily bread and safety are
miracles of God in this troubled world Let us not presume to tell God how to
answer, and let us praise Him for His daily care.

RESPONSE: Today I will acknowledge God gives His best to those who leave the
choices to Him.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be patient and persistent.and leave the answers to
my prayers in Your hands.
