It causes us to depend on God, trusting him to give us what we need at just the right time.It keeps us from treating God like a magical genie who grants all our wishes.While the Bible doesn’t provide us with all the answers, it does give us some insights into why we need to persist in prayer: Why does he desire persistence and consistency in prayer?

You might be wondering why God doesn’t give us what we ask for immediately. Let’s look at the reasons Scripture tells us to persist in prayer. The Bible is filled with verses that promise us that our prayers will be heard and answered. But if we want to be obedient to God’s Word, then we must pray to Go with persistence. We might feel like we are just wasting our time, that God is not listening to us. It is difficult to persevere in prayer when we don’t see any change happening in our lives. It means to keep praying even when we don’t feel like it, even when we’ve been praying for the same thing for years with no results. It means to approach God’s throne with boldness, confidence, and faith that he hears us and will answer us. To persist in prayer means to pray without ceasing. Over and over he promises that he is a God who answers prayer, who loves to give gifts to his children, who has a perfect timing to answer our prayers. Over and over again, the Lord tells us to persevere in our prayers. Why should we keep going? Why should we keep asking and praying persistently? So often when we pray it feels like nothing is happening, nothing is changing. Why should we persist in prayer? Why should we keep asking God to help us, provide for us, save our children, or change impossible situations?
