Family Reflection Video: Perseverance in Prayer

Greetings, friends! Have you ever prayed to God asking for something and it was never answered?

Today we reflect on persistent prayers and being able to recognize God’s answer … even when it’s not what we asked for.

Let us remember that God answers our prayers in a way that exceeds our wildest expectations. Praying consistently allows us the time to grow into a secure sense that we are children of God.

Tonight ask your family if they give up quickly when they feel God is not listening to their prayers? Have they pleaded in prayer for something only to be frustrated by God’s silence?

I pray that you and your family persistently pray to God and have confidence in His answers.
