Do you pray??? REALLY????

Good morning everyone!! What a great day to be alive in the Lord!!! Jesus is the key, HE is the answer. God is good, all the time, all the time God is good!
You know we get tired of praying....why??...Because God does not answer our prayer!!! Oh, but HE does!!! Just not always in the time and fashion we would like. Let's look at Luke 18:1-8
"One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up. (2)'There was a judge ina certain city, who neither feared God nor cared about people. (3)A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying, 'Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy.' (4)The judge ignored her for a while, but finally he said to himself, 'I don't fear God or care about people, (5) but this woman is driving me crazy. I'm going to see that she get justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant request!'" (6) The the Lord said, "Learn a lesson from this unjust judge. (7)Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don't you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?(8) I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man return, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?"
WOW!! Persistance in prayer and not give up does not mean endless repetition or painfully long prayer sessions. Constant prayer means keeping our request continually before God as we live for HIM day by day, believing HE will answer. When we live by faith, we are not to give up.
God may delay answering, but his delays always have good reasons. As we stay constant in prayer, we grow in character, faith, and hope.
If godless judges respond to constant pressure, how much more will a great and loving God respond to us? If we know he loves us, we can believe he will hear our cries for help. Do you pray?? Really?? OR Do you really pray??? Thanks for reading, Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
