O Beloved, what is yours because you are His? Pursue it persistently. Ask, see, knock. Jesus is the One who tells you to do this. It is both a command and a loving invitation.
Sometimes we get to a place where our prayers seem pointless. Maybe we've prayed for the same person, the same request, the same need for five years, a decade, or even longer. And the question abound: If God hasn't answered yet, will he ever? Does God's silence mean the answer is no? Does it mean our request isn't in his will? Should we just give up?
Jesus' answer to all our questions is clear - keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking. In other words - we must not give up! We must pursue persistently.
As it was mentioned, persistence in prayer in both a command and loving invitation. Jesus loves to see you come. he loves to hear your voice. He delights in your dependence on him, in just the right way. Luke 11:9
