I
must pray and have no doubt, no matter how long it takes. (Luke 18:1-11). All
prayers are answered, but may not be exactly the way we want them answered. I
have a friend who married someone she would not have married out in the world
because of his poor business sense and because of his upbringing, never mind
that he has done well for himself, has been to night school and graduated. And
it was an answer to prayer that she have someone so that she wouldn’t be
lonely. And she regrets her marriage every day. Why? She doesn’t understand
that the man is rough and can be smoothed down by God.
Prayer
must be persistent. I must pray because my life depends on it. I must pray
because God wants me to and desires a relationship. I must be strong. I must
have will-power and wait on God. I must not say after a period of time of
hearing “no” that God doesn’t care or won’t answer me or I don’t matter. None
of these is true and all are lies of Satan. And I must not believe those lies.
John 16:23-27 speaks of God wanting a relationship with us and how He gives to
us. Romans 8:32 says that God wants that relationship so badly He didn’t even
spare His own Son. Yes, He will answer my prayer. But I must not give up.
