“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 (Nkjv)
We have many issues that seem to be over and above us. If you are going to get answers to some of these kinds of situations in life, you will have to learn from these scriptures. Simply put, some things do not change with just one prayer.
Persistence is a required principle when dealing with some issues by praying. Some situations have other dimensions to it, some of them are spiritual. Even in that, they may have many facets. So persevering in praying eventually wins the day. That is why we need to learn how to pray different types of prayers to help us pray more effectively.
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 sometimes helps us to build. If you keep your hope in the Word of God alive, whilst you continue to pray, your faith grows along. That faith is what fuels your persistency. Keep praying and believing that you will receive a breakthrough soon. Jesus is coming again!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, please help me to believe Your Word, to hold on to my hopes and never waver concerning all my needs, in Jesus’ name. Amen!
