"One day Jesus told His disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up." (Luke 18:1, NLT)
When I read our text this quarter, I had a thought. What if a congregation came together on each of the Sunday mornings of a month and did nothing but pray, i.e., no music, no announcements, no offering, well, nothing which most congregations do in a typical Sunday morning service.
Everyone would come to the altar, if they have one, or go to the front row of chairs and kneel down to pray. Whatever, maybe it could be called a, "never give up," prayer meeting.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I pray for a never-give-up heart. Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
