PRAY AND DON’T GIVE UP

Jesus addressed a parable to his disciples, to show them that they should always pray and not give up.

He said: In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, « Even though I don’t fear God or care about men, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually wear me out with her coming! »(Luke 18:4-5)
And the Lord said, « Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? »(Luke 18:7)

Persevering in prayer is very difficult. Not only are we not always consistent in this discipline, but we lose courage when time passes and we do not get our requests answered.
However, God is not unfaithful. He answers the prayers of his children, even when they do not see it as quickly as they would like.
The ability to wait is part of spiritual maturity, and that is what God desires for us. So let us pray tirelessly, and use patience and perseverance, for in this process God is shaping us into the image of Christ.
Indeed, « to be a Christian without praying is no more possible than to be alive without breathing! »
Prayer must become like our breathing.

PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, grant us to be able to pray to you without giving up.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
