Never Give Up!
Jesus told us in Luke 18:1, “Always pray, and never give up” (NLT). Other versions say …become discouraged (HCSB), or …lose heart (NKJV), or …keep praying until the answer comes (TLB). This is how Jesus began His parable about a widow who kept going to a certain judge asking for justice against her enemy. This…

Why pray continually? Doesn’t God hear our prayer the first time? Why do we sometimes have to pray the same thing over and over and over? We walk in a dangerous place.
