The true value of persistent prayer is not in its many words, but being in relationship with God! It’s about NOT giving up when we don’t get the answer that we’re looking for, or in the time that we expect. Yet we stay in relationship with God anyway, because we trust Him!
Luke 18:2-8 In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God or respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying; ‘Give me justice against my adversaries.’ For awhile he refused, but afterward, he said to himself; ‘Though I neither fear God or respect man, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’ Hear what the unrighteous judge says; Will not God give justice to His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay longer over them? I tell you; He will give justice to them speedily. Never the less, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?
