Never Give Up Praying!!

AH! I love being blessed to know these amazing people!!!

Here's a post that a beautiful woman of our Most Holy gave me permission to put up!

Today as I sit & think over what the Lord has been saying to my spirit, I wanted to share it with you my friends...to never give up praying.  We will often spend time praying & if the Lord doesn't answer in what we think would be a "timely manner", then we give up on that prayer. In Luke 18:1 It says "He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart." In your life I am sure you have felt like I have before, that you pray & pray and  nothing seems to happen, and you are tempted to give up or do give up, why then do we not have our answers from the Lord right away? One thing for sure is the Lord that wants to see us press into Him in prayer, to seek Him with All our hearts; so He can be found... sometimes it's for the character of perserverence in our own life; to see perseverance grow in us so we can stand through the "storms of life"  & another thing is that prayer is such a battle because the enemy of our soul doesn't want to be defeated and when God's people pray he IS defeated! Remember the widow in scripture who persistently prayed & finally received her answer. Don't lose hope, don't give up! I have a wonderful, precious, faithfully praying friend...she had prayed  for her husband to become a true believer in Christ for over 25 years, she many times felt overwhlemed & like she would lose heart; but she asked the Lord to help her persist in prayer & just 2 months ago the Lord came to Him in such a powerful way & set him free from sin & death through his acceptance of Christ into his heart! He thanked her for never giving up praying for him, just think if she had stopped, Praise the Lord she NEVER GAVE UP!! What a powerful picture of faithful praying. May you & I be counted as True, Faithful, Persistant PRAYERS!!
