Yet, we are called to persevere, to persist in our prayers for the unsaved, and the helpless. Perseverance keeps going, even in the face of continued disappointments, setbacks, trials. Perseverance persists, not by power, nor by might, but by the Spirit of God. Are you still persevering, or are you about to give up, because you cannot see an answer, and it seems as if your Lazarus promise is dead, or nothing appears to be happening each time you look? “Go back,” says Elijah to his servant, and to you. Keep looking, keep asking, keep persisting, and God has promised that in due time you will receive a reward if you do not get weary and give up!
