Persistent in Prayer

“Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who searches finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

Matt 7:7-8 (HCSB)

Prayer is to our spiritual life what breathing is to our physical life. Unfortunately some of us are holding our breath. Our prayer life needs to be a priority for every Christ follower. But it is also true that we need to be persistent in prayer. Why is persistence necessary? Primarily because that is what Jesus wants us to do!

It is not because we need to get God's attention. And it is not because God needs to be convinced to give us what we need. I think its more for us to understand the urgency to come to Him. To grow our faith. But also to help us align our hearts with His. Prayer doesn't change God it changes us.

So above all else be persistent in your prayer life. It is important to keep asking, seeking and knocking!
