COPIED!!!
Persistent prayer......
You know my teenage son accidentally smashed his phone,he wanted me to fix it for him; i was bent on not fixing it since I deemed the accident as his fault. Well, he wouldn't take no for an answer, he kept reminding me daily, when I'm going out he will say it when I come back he will remind me about how he wasn't using his phone anymore. To be candid I was even sneaking out so he won't see me leave the house but at last I decided to save myself the headache and fix it. In the process of time, his elder sister too "accidentally" smashed her phone, for some weeks I didn't even know, she was using it like that. Well
I saw the phone I was surprised and my mind was like " another one again? Well weeks have passed no demand for fixing the phone, it is still smashed and I'm relaxed about fixing it because there is no pressure or pestering or persistence from her.
Friends,problems and issues in our lives remain when we don't bombard heaven with our voice or demand through prayers. Sometimes praying once doesn't solve it ,persistence in prayers does. Jesus gave example of the persistent woman not for fun but to emphasise why we need to first, pray and keep praying. Sometimes your persistence is what you need to get answers. Don't fold up keep at it, one day, answer will come. May this week be blessed and fruitful for us in Jesus name. Shalom.
