Continually praying for the same thing with no apparent results can be very discouraging. Even the most faithful prayer warriors can feel like giving up. Yet, God encourages all of us to pray until the prayer is answered. This does not mean pray until you get the answer you want, but until the prayer is answered. There is an old acronym P.U.S.H that stands for Pray Until Something Happens. This is what Christ is speaking of in the parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18. Jesus states He wants to encourage us to always pray and not give up. God’s timing is not our timing, just as His thoughts are not our thoughts. Often God allows His children to wait and rest in Him for His perfect timing before He answers their prayers. As you are praying for the lost in your lives do not give up and get discouraged when you do not see immediate results. Many prayers have been answered years later, and that was God perfect timing. Christ calls us to be persistent in our prayers. So lets keep fighting the good fight, not with weapons of this world but with weapons that demolish strong holds and set people free—Prayer! PUSH on brothers and sisters. God bless.
