The fourth of five message
on talking with God
What should we do when we come up against what
appears to be an immovable wall? We want to break through, but we can’t. Should
we give up, or keep trying?
On one hand, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over
and expecting different results. So if our approach hasn’t worked, we should
adopt an alternative. After all, why bang our heads against a wall?
On the other hand, we may be on the right track but we haven’t stayed with it
long enough. We just need to keep at it and persevere. Some things that will
eventually work don’t appear to work immediately. Maybe the wall will fall.
Which of these competing principles apply to prayer? When we don’t see evidence
of an answer, is it time to quit? Should we give up? Or are we to persist even
in the face of no objective observable results?
Come worship with us this weekend as we study and apply what the Bible says
about persistence in prayer.
