Does prayer ever come easy? Is it easy to talk to someone you can't always see, feel or hear? The answer is no!
Prayer is something we need to condition ourselves for. The wickedness of our heart needs to be abolished before we can approach the throne of God with the boldness that comes through having our sins forgiven through the atonement of the blood of Jesus Christ.
Prayer is the avenue by which we can approach the throne of God with reverence in our hearts for His Holy Name. Prayer is not just throwing a few petitions out there hoping He will hear and answer, but rather, fervently asking Him in His name for His glory and His alone.
Hope for the world is hinged on the prayer of the faithful coupled with the action that follows a heart with a burden for the lost.
Persistence in prayer is rewarding to those who have prayed when it seemed no one was listening. God promises us He will hear us but how He answers us is totally up to Him. Instead of giving up we need to persist realizing our needs and our utter hopelessness without Him.
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
