And Never Lose Heart

 

And He told them a parable
to the effect that
they ought always to pray
and not lose heart.

            Luke 18. 1

(Never stop coming
             before Jesus.
Never stop praying.
God always responds
   in one way or a million.
And not always
       as we expect.
Trust in the slow work of God.
And even when it appears
         the long way around.
It's not about answers
                 after all.
Praying may or may not
  change our circumstances,
but alters how we see
the situation, others,
    even God Himself.
In the process of praying,
  God changes our hearts.
That may be
   the biggest miracle of all.
And then we are where
  we can see His wonders.)
          
O LORD,
Help us to realize that praying
is not wishing for,
nor getting what,
but all about
  our relationship with You.
Align our hearts
        with Yours.
Sometimes we don't even
   have the words,
but You hear our hearts.
Empower us to pray
                 even then,
and never lose heart.
