Let me ask you three questions.
First, if God said to you, “I will answer every single prayer that you pray this week,” how many people in your life would you pray to receive Jesus?
Second question: Are you praying for them now?
Christians often grow weary of praying for someone – or give up entirely – because nothing seems to be happening.
Which leads me to my third question: What if, as we pray for others, God does something in us?
Through prayer, God molds our character, grows our patience, and empowers us to persevere. Author Richard Foster says, “If we truly love people, we will desire for them far more than it is within our power to give them and this will lead us to prayer.”
