Don’t Give Up

Luke 1:13 “ But the angel said, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer…”

Down 10 points in the game with minutes remaining. A work deadline that keeps you up late at night. A mountain of laundry that just keeps building. What is overwhelming you today? Have you brought it to the Lord in prayer? Perhaps this burden has been on your heart for weeks, months, even years. Continue to pray in faith that God can. He is Holy. Powerful. Limitless. Our God is able. When our feeble hearts fail, when we don’t have the strength to pray, when we begin to give up hope, throw in the towel… sit and meditate on who God is. Let your thoughts be given up to Him in prayer. He knows you intimately. Knows your every desire, every burden. Continue to walk faithfully, praying fervently, to our Holy, Sovereign, Creator God.

Romans 8:26 “And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.”

James 5:16b “…The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
