prayer

My word tells you to pray fervently, to pray evermore, that men ought always to pray and not faint. What does this mean to you? If you think of prayer as the stating of requests then it means asking continually. Yet when my disciples asked me to teach them to pray, my response was in effect to tell them to worship and adore God. Do you think I answered their question? This does not fit the model of prayer as continual asking, but it is more sustainable and something you can do without feeling greedy and grasping. If your worship convinces you of my goodness and faithfulness and conforms you to me then only a little effort is required to ask for whatever you desire and receive it.
