How to Persevere in Prayer

“I am a recipient of His personal persistence. He has continued to walk with me when I, too, have grumbled against Him in the wilderness.” Today Aubrie shares encouragement from a Moms in Prayer mom who was challenged by the Lord to be persistent in her prayer life. She reminds us how God persistently pursues us and how we can follow His example as we stay close to Him. Jesus ever lives to intercede for us and the Holy Spirit helps us pray in our weakness. What a gift!

Scriptures

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

but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. Hebrews 7:24-25 NIV

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:30-31 NIV

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. Romans 8:26 ESV
