“HEAR MY CRY, OLORD, ATTEND UNTO MY PRAYER…”
Luke 18:5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
Luke 18:8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
As a father of two boys ages 1 and 5 years I always have random of funny and sometimes emotional moments with my kids.
Best of all, is when just can't help but to laugh whenever kids say some amusing and unexpected words.
Like this story of a 3-year-old boy who went to the grocery store with his mother.
Before they entered the grocery store she said to him, "Now you're not going to get any chocolate chip cookies, so don't even ask."
She put him up in the cart & he sat in the little child's seat while she wheeled down the aisles.
He was doing just fine until they came to the cookie section. He saw the chocolate chip cookies and he stood up in the seat & said, "Mom, can I have some chocolate chip cookies?"
She said, "I told you not even to ask. You're not going to get any at all." So he sat back down.
They continued down the aisles, but in their search for certain items they ended up back in the cookie aisle. "Mom, can I please have some chocolate chip cookies?"
She said, "I told you that you can't have any. Now sit down and be quiet."
Finally, they were approaching the checkout lane. The little boy sensed that this may be his last chance.
So just before they got to the line, he stood up on the seat of the cart & shouted in his loudest voice, "In the name of Jesus, may I have some chocolate chip cookies?"
And everybody round about just laughed. Some even applauded. And, due to the generosity of the other shoppers, the little boy and his mother left with 23 boxes of chocolate chip cookies.
The point is, we ought always to pray and not give up. There's power in a persistent prayer.
Same thing with studying God’s there's an immeasurable power whenever you meditate God's Word and promises to you.
We have lots of Christians from different part of the world with testimonies on the mystery of persistent prayer; ensure your testimony is next.
Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
