O Beloved, what is yours because you are His? Pursue it persistently. Ask, seek, knock. Jesus is the One who tells you to do this. It is both a command and a loving invitation.
~~Kay Arthur
This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.
Sometimes we get to the place where our prayers seem pointless. Maybe we’ve prayed for the same person, the same request, the same need for five years, a decade, or even longer. And the questions abound: If God hasn’t answered yet, will he ever? Does God’s silence mean the answer is no? Does it mean our request isn’t in his will? Should we just give up?
Jesus’ answer to all our questions is clear—keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking. In other words—we must not give up! We must pursue persistently.
As Kay Arthur says, persistence in prayer is both a command and a loving invitation. Jesus loves to see you come. He loves to hear your voice. He delights in your dependence on him.
You are his. He is yours. He will answer, at just the right time, in just the right way.
Prayer for Meditation
Lord God, it’s me . . . again.
Scripture for Meditation
And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. Luke 11:9-10
