Never give up on prayer 

 Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 

 

There are times when we pray, it either seems God has not heard or our requests are yet to be granted to us. Most Christians feel weary when their requests are delayed while some give up on prayer. 

One thing is that God answers prayers, however, His time and ways are different from that of humans.

There was a time when the Israelites entreated God to know if they can go for a war, praying for God's support, God told them to go. They went for the battle but they failed. The Israelites never gave up, they prayed again asking for God's counsel, they went for the battle and failed the second time, they prayed again for the third time and ask for God’s counsel; It was this time God fought their battle and handed over the victory to them (Judges 20:18-35).

Sometimes when our requests seem delayed; we pass through some phases that help build our faith and make us stronger. The Israelites have been going for the battle and failing, until the third time God made them harnessed a new strategy to fight their battle, they never approach their battle the same way they did for their first and second battle.

Dear reader, I believed you have been blessed by God’s word today. Don’t be weary or tired, God will answer your prayers just believe and know that amidst phases of unanswered prayer  you can grow more in faith and get stronger in prayers.

 

Prayer: Father let me never cease from praying no matter the circumstances in Jesus Christ's name amen.
