Lesson Overview

Persevering in prayer isn’t easy. If we’re not attentive, we can confuse the need to keep praying about something with God saying “no” and give up without seeing any results. But the vital importance of going the distance in prayer is illustrated in multiple places in both the Old and New Testaments. In this lesson, we’ll examine what God’s Word has to teach us about this vital topic and gain practical insight for persevering in prayer ourselves.

Lesson Objectives

When you complete this lesson, you should be able to do the following:

  • Understand something of the frequency with which perseverance in prayer is illustrated in Scripture.
  • Ascertain how persevering in prayer honors God and exercises our faith.
  • Comprehend the difference between waiting for God when we pray and waiting with God.

Personal Reflection

As you proceed through this lesson have the following question in mind.
Who has persevered in prayer for you? Where do you think you would be if they had given up praying for you?
