If you are like me, you probably want to grow your prayer life. You would also like to see more answers to prayer. If this is the case in your life, then we all must learn how to better persevere in prayer. Persevering in prayer must have been very important to Jesus because He taught more about persevering in prayer and its benefits than any other topic related to prayer!
Jesus gave a model on how to pray, some prayer blockers like unforgiveness, but then He really got into persevering in prayer. My personal impression is prayer is less style or "glam" and more determination. Its more gritty and pretty. No style points, just guts and grit. In our time today, I want to go through these passages and show at least 4 benefits of persevering in prayer. Then I want us to see how Jesus modeled it for us to see and with His help, we can begin practicing it this week.
