Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
We’re so quick to give up in prayer. Our emotions and our circumstances lead us to stop praying. However, we need to PUSH (Pray Until Something Happens)
My goal is to encourage you to continually endure in prayer, no matter how difficult your situation may seem. I also encourage you to pray and never give up.
If we’re honest with ourselves, unanswered prayers are very discouraging. If we’re not careful, unanswered prayers can lead to weariness and despair. If we’re not careful, we will come to a place where we say, “it just doesn’t work.” If you have been discouraged by not seeing the results of your prayers, I want you to keep fighting! One day, you will see the glorious fruits of your prayers. I know it’s hard. Sometimes it takes two days, sometimes 2 months, sometimes 2 years. However, we have to have an attitude that says, “I will not let go until You bless me.”
Is what you’re praying for worth dying for? It’s better to die than to quit in prayer. There have been certain prayers in my life that it took God three years to answer. Imagine if I would have quit in prayer. Then, I would not have been able to see God answer my prayers. I witnessed God get glory for Himself by answering my prayers. The deeper the trial, the more beautiful the victory is.
We are called to persevere in prayer. I’ll be honest, persevering is hard at times. I hate to wait. The process can be so draining and you feel as if you are on a roller coaster. With that said, while persevering can be hard, we are not only called to persevere. We are also to rejoice in hope and be devoted to prayer. When we are doing these things, persevering becomes easier.
There is joy when our joy comes from Christ and not our situation. No matter what difficult situation that you are in, there is a greater glory that awaits you. We must never lose sight of our hope of future things that the Lord has promised us. This helps us to be joyful in our trials. The more that you pray, the easier that it becomes. We should make prayer our daily exercise. Sometimes it hurts so much that words just can’t come out. The Lord understands you and He knows how to comfort you.
Sometimes the best thing to do is to be still before the Lord focusing on Him and allowing your heart to speak. He sees the tears of your heart. Don’t think that your prayers are going unnoticed. He knows, He sees, He understands, and He’s working even if you can’t see it. Continue to praise the Lord. Get before Him every day and pray until something happens. Don’t give up. Whatever it takes!
Have a blessed Tuesday
God's blessings
