Always to Pray

Luke 18:1,8 “And He spoke a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not to faint,... shall He find faith on the earth?

Praying is not a magical formula to get what we want. Yes, God desires to give us the desires of our heart, but prayer is more than just asking for things. Prayer is taking time to talk to God about life and getting to know Him better. We read God’s word and asked God to reveal His word to us. God speaks to us through our minds, conscience, and His word. He reveals to us what is right and good. Will God find such openness of heart when He returns? We must not quit talking to God, we must believe that He will take care of our needs and trust Him to keep us from falling.  There may be times like Job that we don’t feel that God is anywhere near, but we must not give up our faith in God. We may be going through some difficult times, but He is in control and has a purpose for everything He does. May He find me faithful, always praying and trusting Him.
