Does God need to be persuaded to care about our needs? Not at all. In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy explains that persistent prayer isn’t about changing God—it’s about changing us. Drawing from Luke 11:9–10, we’re reminded that God is generous and willing, but He often uses delay to develop our faith, purify our desires, and deepen our gratitude.
Persistence in prayer strengthens our spiritual muscles, reveals the sincerity of our requests, and heightens our thankfulness when answers come. Just as good parents don’t grant every request immediately, our heavenly Father lovingly teaches us to wait—and to trust. If your prayers seem unanswered, don’t quit. God is listening, and He’s working in ways you may not yet see.
