THE POWER OF PRAYER

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C Luke 11:1-13 Today’s gospel reading is reminding us the importance of persistence and perseverance in prayer. Friends, the habit of persistence is the habit of victory. Be persistent! Be persevering. It does not matter how slow you go as long as you don’t stop. Do not be afraid of rejection. It is difficult to wait but it is more painful to regret. Folks, just kept nagging God until He said yes. If you’re asking and no answer, then ask again. If you seek and you dont find, then search again. If youre knocking and nobody is responding, then try again and again. Instead of giving up, try again. God’s help is only a prayer away. Approach Him in prayer. Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement. “...because of his persistence he will get up and give him whatever he needs.” We have a loving God who is waiting for us to ask. Persistent prayer, is the weakness of God. Friends, if you are persistent you will get it. If you are consistent you will keep it. Keep trusting God. He is always in control even when your circumstances may seem out of control. God never disappoints anyone who places his trust in Him. Blessings Fr. Jhack
