Consistency and Perseverance in Prayer (3)
Jesus told them a story showing that it was necessary for them to pray consistently and never quit… Luke 18:1(MSG)
God expects us to pray. In Jeremiah 29:12; The Lord says “Then you will call upon me and go and pray to me and I will listen to you”. God keeps reminding us that we should pray. 2nd Chronicles 7:14 says “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and PRAY and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” Do not forget that the devil is roaring about looking for whom to devour. The devil does not stop roaring. So your prayer must be continuous, non-stop, without ceasing, it has to be an exercise that must be frequent, consistent and regular. Consistency and perseverance make you to be more God-conscious, replenish your spiritual life and make you to be closer to God.
To pray consistently and persistently, you can start with hymns, praise, worship and thanksgiving. You can contemplate and meditate on the Lord by adoring, appreciating, blessing, referencing Him for creation and for His awesomeness. Bless Him for kind deeds, protection, favour and mercies. Thank Him for specific favours, blessings He has bestowed on you, your loved ones and people in general. Ask for forgiveness of sins, for ingratitude and disobedience in all forms. Make your requests, desires, aspirations, supplications and wishes known to Him. Be quiet and wait to receive from Him. Then thank and bless Him for answering your prayers.
Prayer:
Father, grant me the grace to pray consistently and the grace to persevere in prayers in Jesus’ Name.
