How to Not Lose Heart

 

And He told them a parable

to the effect that they

    ought always to pray

and not lose heart.

               Luke 18. 1

(Praying is our first response,

      not our last resort.

God does not just change situations,

      He changes us,

even in the coming before Him.

Pray.

And then pray all the way

    around the circumstances,

down every hallway,

           every angle,

      all the crevices.

God aligns our hearts with His.

We do not lose heart,

    but praying strengthens us.)

O LORD,

Thank You that we can come

      right before You,

  pray and walk with You

   through whatever is on our path.

Please help us to discover

    Your strength in this place.

Help us to not lose heart,

but to know You are with us

        and You are in this.
