This week, this scripture means so much. A close friend who is battling cancer is faced with unexpected testing and unexpected waiting. This is exactly the scripture needed for this very day.
"Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere." -Ephesians 6:18
What is persistent prayer? I think it is literally storming the throne room seeking His grace, peace, healing, help, mercy, forgiveness, and hope.
We can make room for persistent prayer at the stoplight, when cleaning up dinner, when walking to the mailbox, driving to and from work, mowing the grass, and in the shower. For me, it often happens in the middle of the night. I like to think of it as the prayer "nightshift." He hears our prayers.
Time spent in prayer is never wasted.
Today, I am grateful for persistent prayer.
