Weary in Prayer?

Have you been praying for something for a long time, but you have not seen any signs of anything happening? Do you feel like God isn't hearing you or has forgotten about you?

He hears you and hasn't forgotten you.

Prayer is a battleground. We can't see the dimension the battle is fought in, but it is being fought. (The Bible illustrates a different dimension here: 2 Kings 6)

Battlegrounds are places that leave us scarred and weary. 

Lesser soldiers will walk away from the battle while the faithful keep fighting. 

Good soldiers for the Lord, in our weariness, we have consolation in knowing we have the victory through Jesus! We can also take comfort realizing that the 


harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph!

Did you know you can ask God to give you strength to keep praying? He will. I've been there, done that, and saw Him answer! Many times! 

I encourage you not to lose hope and to keep praying in agreement with God's Word for the difficult issues in your life. 

Dear reader, how can you improve in your prayer life for those more challenging battles? What long term prayers have you seen answered?
