“In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.” [Isaiah 2:2]
Isaiah looked with hopeful eyes to the day when faith would flourish and there would be times of real praying. Times in which our prayers would keep all spiritual interests busy and make increasing demands on God’s exhaustless treasures.
Persistent prayer never hesitates or grows weary. It is never discouraged. It never yields to cowardice, but is lifted up and sustained by a hope that knows no despair and a faith that will not let go.
Persistent prayer has patience to wait and strength to continue. It never prepares itself to quit praying, and it refuses to get up from its knees until an answer is received.
Keep me on my knees, Almighty God, until my prayers are answered. Thank You, Lord. Amen. [The Power of Prayer]
