”Persistence!”

“All too often, we give up before we ever reach or receive the desires of our hearts. We throw in the towel, fold our hands, and simply forget the very reasons why we started and what the purpose of it all truly was. Amen.

We grow weary quickly, perhaps because we live in a “right now” generation. We want everything done quickly, and when we want it, we want it to be easy. We don’t want to experience the struggle that often comes with the journey. Amen.

But I consider Jacob and how he simply refused to let go. He said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me” (Genesis 32:26). Matthew 7:7 reminds us to ask, seek, and knock. In other words, we are presented with one simple principle: be persistent in prayer.

Keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking (Luke 11:9–13), because prayer changes things. Prayer keeps us believing for the miracle we are trusting God for. It helps us continue moving forward, regardless of what life looks like, while staying focused on the prayers and petitions we have brought before the Lord.

Don’t allow those prayers to fall by the wayside. Keep them at the forefront of your mind. Amen.

So today, my prayer for us all is this: God hears us. God is working it out for us. God is moving on our behalf, and God loves us.

I pray that we hold on and don’t give up under the pressure of life, even through the hard days and difficult seasons. I pray that we remain strong in the Lord, knowing that we can do all things through Christ, who gives us strength (Philippians 4:13). Amen.

God’s timing is perfect. So keep on keeping on. Keep praying, seeking, asking, and knocking. Don’t grow weary in doing well, for “in due season we shall reap, if we faint not” (Galatians 6:9).

Know that this too shall pass, and stay persistent. I pray that you keep your prayer in front of you. Place it on a note. Write it on a whiteboard. Write it on your mirror. Whatever you have to do, don’t let it slip away from your sight.

Every day, continue presenting your requests before our Father, for He will answer us. The Bible says that He will show us “great and mighty things, which thou knowest not” (Jeremiah 33:3). God’s plan for our lives far outweighs any thing we could ever imagine or anything we could ever plan for ourselves. Amen.

So keep shining, keep believing, and keep sharing the Gospel of Christ. And know that if God is for you, then who can be against you?

Absolutely no one! Amen!”

”For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen & Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
