Persevering in Prayers for Divine
Isaiah 62:6-8
I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shallnever hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD,keep not silence, And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons
of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast labored.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Isaiah 42:19-22, God was declaring through Prophet Isaiah that His servants were the most blind and deaf around because despite all that was happening around them, they were contented and saw no need to cry out to God for restoration of their land. God wants to bless and restore us, but He wants us to call upon Him for that blessing and restoration. He also has incredible plans for our lives, but He wants us to pray and seek Him for for the manifestation of those plans in our lives, Jer.29:11-13. Even though God had declared that He was sending rain to the land of Israel, Elijah still had to go up the mountain to pray until the rain came, 1Kings 18:1, 41-45.
Via persistent prayer, you and I can activate God's unlimited power, authority and glory to prevail upon our lives, the lives of others and our land. We cannot keep quiet and simply expect that things will get better someday, while the devil wreaks unprecedented evil and havoc around us. Jesus said that if an unjust judge will respond to the persistent pleas of a burdened woman, our Heavenly Father will respond to us speedily as we call upon Him day and night, Luke 18:1-8. Do not be discouraged or tired and do not relent. Nehemiah prayed unto God and God brought restoration through him. Esther prayed unto God and God brought restoration through her. As we take our prayers seriously this year, our fervent and effectual prayers will avail much in our lives and in our land, James 5:16-18.
PRAYER FOCUS: Pray for God's restoration in our lives and our land and receive grace to be persistent in prayers this year.
