Heavenly Father, I want to take a moment to thank you for blessing us all with life and Your son Jesus. I know some of your servants in this world are downcast, battered and beaten by life and it's circumstances. Some are held down and blocked from You by ill-fated decisions on our part and the enemy. But Lord, I lift up this prayer to encourage all of us to pray without ceasing despite the mess that is seemingly our lives.
Psalm 77 1-3 says I cried out to God with my voice—
To God with my voice;
And He gave ear to me.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing;
My soul refused to be comforted.
3 I remembered God, and was troubled;
I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah
Don't quit on tour prayers for Deliverance. Don't quit fighting against oppression and the turmoil and strife we face daily. To give up, is to say God's grace, love and mercy are insufficient, which is a destructive lie the enemy tells. Be bold and praise God fervently through every illness and drama filled moment. Praise God more in times of despair than when life is easy. Doing so puts Him at the head of life, which is His rightful spot. Like Christ, who prayed until He gave up His ghost, we should do the same. Pray however long it takes to hear from God. If you don't receive the answer you think you need, ask God what to do to use His answer best. The late Jim Valvano said it best, "don't give up, don't ever give up." God said He will never leave or forsake you. Their is no caveat or clause to this. Hold out till tomorrow, keep your faith through the night. If you just hold out, until tomorrow, everything will be alright! Amen
