Jesus taught us to pray boldly, persistently, and rightly. Abraham reminds us that our prayers should benefit others not only ourselves. God is perfect, faithful, merciful, and just… our prayers do not add anything to God’s glory, but they do help transform us. We are told to ask, seek, and knock, and are assured we will be heard. So, why do we still struggle so much with prayer? Because we are impatient. We want to be heard now… we want an answer now… and not just any answer, but the answer we want… now! Our problem may be less about prayer and more about patience and persistence. Our challenge is how to develop those characteristics… right now!
