Love Jesus 13

Excerpt from “The Gift of Prayer,” by Robert M. Hiller, p. 20

The hardest part of faith is trusting God’s word over and against our eyes and experiences.

But God has promised, and part of praying is faithfully putting God’s promises back in his ears—to pray continuously and to never give up
(Luke 18:1).

“Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” (Luke 18:1)

He will answer according to his will and for your good.

Though we will see some of our prayers answered in what we deem a timely manner, the truth is we must view these promises from the perspective of the resurrection.

We may not see our loved ones healed until Christ raises them from the grave.

But the day will come when all tears are removed and our prayers will turn to praise.

It is a promise–a promise that drives us to pray.
