Give Him no rest!

“Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men. And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men, yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.’ ” And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge. Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He continue to defer their help? I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?” Luke 18:1-8, Berean Study Bible

My sister, God wants you to keep coming to Him about that situation that’s bothering you. He hears you and He will not defer your help. Crying out to God seemingly for the millionth time doesn’t mean you lack faith. You know He is the only one who can do something about it, and that is actually a demonstration of your faith. Give Him no rest until He does what He said He would do for you (see Isaiah 62:7).

Prayer: Father God, thank you for speaking to my heart. I choose to continue to cry out to you even if it seems like I’ve asked hundreds of times for you to save, heal and deliver; I’m going to keep on asking because you are the only one who can do something about this situation I face. I know you will respond in your perfect timing and in your perfect way, yet I will not give up on crying out to you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
