Pray Tenaciously Luke 18:1-8

This Sunday’s message, from Luke 18:1-8,  is entitled “Pray Tenaciously”. One of the common experiences for many of us as Christians is that we lose heart. Life in a fallen world is hard and what really causes us to stumble is the unfairness of life. We suffer injustice. Evil seems to prevail. We become cynical and disillusioned. Jesus knows this and he speaks to us as His disciples and tells us “to pray and to not lose heart.” Pray tenaciously. 

You would think if anyone would have lost heart in the face of persistent hostility and slander and evil, it would have been Jesus. He was constantly harassed and slandered. However, he didn’t stop praying and pursuing God’s call on His life. Why? It is because Jesus knew the One to whom He prayed. Jesus knew why He himself had come. Jesus knew that He was not on a fool’s errand but God’s will would prosper in His hand. 

Do you have that same confidence and hope? Have you begun to lose heart in your life as a Christian? Pray that this Sunday, God would reignite your prayer life or ignite your prayer life for the very first time. We ought to pray and not lose heart.
