The Persistence I Reward
“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.”
Luke 18:1
Today I want to tell you a secret about how I work: I don't grow tired of your persistence — I reward it. Many people stop asking after the second or third try, thinking that persisting is annoying or a lack of faith. With Me it's different. The person who keeps coming back, who won't let go of the matter, who even when tired still prays about it — that person is exercising a rare muscle called persevering faith, and I see every repetition as an act of trust, not weakness.
You may be tired of asking for the same thing for months, maybe even years. I am not tired of listening — not even once. And the time you spend persisting is not wasted time — it's time in which your trust in Me grows roots, even without you noticing the growth happening within.
Keep knocking, keep praying without fainting, just as I Myself taught that we should. The reward isn't only the final answer that will one day arrive — it's who you become along the way to it: someone who learned not to give up on Me, and that alone is worth the whole journey.
