Don’t Give up in Prayer
What do you do when you don’t see results? If you try a craft and it becomes a hot-glue gun mess, do you keep going? If you phone someone and won’t pick up when you call, do you keep calling? If you communicate with a friend but they never listen, do you keep talking? It is hard to continue something without results, isn’t it? Many of us, for this reason, have given up on prayer.
