DAILY?READINGS: Judges 20; Isaiah 38-39; 1 Corinthians 15:35-58
…Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity [persistence] he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. Luke 11:8
For this thing I besought the Lord thrice… 2 Corinthians 12:8
When should we stop praying about something? In one verse we learn to keep asking God for what we desire. In the other, Paul stopped praying after three times. In general we “do not cease to pray for you” (Col. 1:9). But when we receive an answer such as, “My grace is sufficient for thee” (2 Cor. 12:9), then it is time to move on to other matters of prayer. —Sid Halsband
O Thou by Whom we come to God, the Life, the Truth, the Way!
The path of prayer Thyself hast trod: Lord, teach us how to pray!
—James Montgomery
