Diligence In Prayer

Diligent prayer requires persistent faith, continued seeking, and confidence in the God we are praying to.

Topics

Diligent prayer approaches God with faith, persistence, and confidence that He hears those who diligently seek Him.

• Diligence means continuing faithfully rather than abandoning prayer when an answer does not come immediately.
• Prayer should be rooted in knowing who God is rather than being driven only by fear or panic.
• Faith in prayer includes believing that God is and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him.
• Persistent prayer keeps the believer engaged with God rather than treating prayer as a last response to trouble.
• Growth in prayer requires consistency rather than continually skipping the disciplines that strengthen our relationship with God.

• Establish a consistent pattern of prayer.
• Continue praying when answers appear delayed.
• Bring your fears to God while remembering who He is.
• Seek God diligently rather than turning to prayer only in emergencies.
• Let persistence in prayer strengthen your faith.
