What Are You Praying For?

Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. (Luke 18:1)

What are you praying for these days?  What is the request or requests that, when you go to God in prayer, you find yourself faithfully praying?  Perhaps you're praying for the salvation of a friend or family member?  Maybe you are praying for a relationship in your life that needs mending.  You might be praying for God to do something big for you - a new job, a relationship, a pregnancy, a breakthrough.

Here’s what I want to tell you about that: Don’t give up!  Keep praying!  Even if you’ve prayed for something hundreds of times, pray hundreds more.  God hears our prayers every time we pray.  He answers our prayers according to his divine timing and wisdom.  So keep praying.  And if you’ve given up on a petition or lost hope in a request you’ve made, why not pick it up again?  Tell God what you need.  Tell him what you want.  God always hears our prayers and he always answers with the greatest “YES” - even if that “yes” isn’t exactly what we are praying for.
