Wearied Prayers

Do you ever get tired of praying? Do you ever feel like giving up? Do you loose heart while praying?
It can be difficult to be persistent in our prayers, or even consistent in our prayers.
Persistent prayer depends less upon us and more upon God, to whom our prayers are directed. We can pray freely, consistently, and optimistically when we know God is good and God is just.
Jesus taught the Parable of the Persistent Widow “to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.” (Luke 18:1, ESV).
The lesson of the persistent widow is simply this, if she got justice through her persistent request of an unjust judge, how much more will we get justice from a just and loving Father when we ask him for what we need.
If we would take a moment and consider who we are talking to when we pray, it would radically change the way we pray.
May we not grow weary in our prayers, but trust our loving and just Father as we make our requests known to him, being confident he will hear us.
A Prayer for the Acceptance of Prayer: “O Lord our God, accept the fervent prayers of your people; in the multitude of your mercies, look with compassion upon us and all who turn to you for help; for you are gracious, O lover of souls, and to you we give glory, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
