How to Persevere in Prayer
How do you persevere in prayer? You have to make an effort, because it is not easy. It is easy to start; the difficult part is finishing, because of the opposition that arises along the way.
The enemy will always oppose men and women of prayer. This opposition can happen in many ways: through pain in the body, through situations around us, and even through people close to us. People will be attacked, you will be saddened, troubled, distressed, humiliated, and persecuted.
So, do not forget: many of these struggles are part of the journey of a life of prayer. And this should serve as encouragement to warriors. You must keep going!
But how do you persevere?
Do what Paul taught: “Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training.” Many people want to pray while living according to the flesh, and because of this, the journey seems impossible. But when we are in the Spirit, when we walk and live in the Spirit, we receive life and have life to give.
We must make an effort and not be ignorant of Satan’s schemes. Yet, hallelujah, we must remain patient in tribulations. This is how we will continue.
If you do not renounce your own life and your own will, and if you do not enter this war determined to fight the good fight, you will give up. The burden will become too great, because sin brings bondage and weakness.
Therefore, it is necessary to renounce sin.
The Word says: “Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training.” And so you will continue fighting, abstaining from everything that weakens your walk and making every effort to remain steadfast.
Understand this: the struggles, adversities, and opposition you encounter are part of the journey of those who are true warriors.
But you have the armor of God in your hands!
So I challenge you: move forward against them! Glory to God! Go into battle as David went against Goliath.
Do not allow yourself to be intimidated by the Goliaths of life, nor by the Sauls who may cross your path.
You need to have the same attitude as Caleb when he returned from spying out the land together with Joshua and the other men. Caleb said, in other words: “They will be our bread. Let us only be strong, and the Lord will deliver them into our hands.”
Hallelujah!
This is the secret to perseverance.
If I do not tell you the truth, you may become frustrated. The battles will come because of your prayer life. The counterattacks will come, and they may be very intense, because the devil does not want anyone to persevere in prayer.
That is why you find many people who started but did not finish.
Jesus taught that when someone goes into battle, they must first count the cost, to determine whether they have what it takes to see it through to the end.
In the same way, when someone is going to build a house, they must calculate the cost to determine whether they will be able to finish it. Otherwise, they will begin building and will not be able to finish. And everyone who passes by will begin to mock them, saying:
“This man began to build, but he was not able to finish.”
The world is full of people who began building their houses but did not finish. Many ended up becoming a source of shame and disgrace.
No!
You must be a courageous man! You must be a giant in faith, able to face the giants of this world and overcome the Sauls who arise along the way.
Do not be afraid. Do not give up. Do not abandon prayer.
Keep fighting. Keep praying. Keep persevering.
Because the one who perseveres to the end will see the hand of God.
