READING: 1 Samuel 1:1-12.
“Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart…And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?” (Luke 18:1,7)
If you are going to receive answers to different types of situations in this life, you will have to learn from this Scripture. Persistency is a required principle when dealing with some issues in prayer. Simply put, some things do not change with just one prayer. Most situations have other dimensions to them, sometimes they are spiritual. Even in that, it may have many facets to it. So persevering in praying eventually wins the day; you overcome them because prayers do not cease.
Faith is also required when praying on anything at all.
However, it takes different levels of faith to achieve different successes in prayer. Some things require “greater faith.” That is what persistent prayer helps us to build. Keeping your hope alive as you continue to pray is key. Your faith grows along too! That faith is what fuels your persistency and you will receive a breakthrough soon. Jesus is coming again!
🙏 PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I pray for the Spirit of persistence in prayer, to not stop in the face of all challenges and needs. I ask for the grace to “Pray Until Something Happens,” in Jesus’ name. Amen!
