Jesus taught the disciples "that they
ought always to pray and not to turn coward (faint, lose heart, and give
up)." But several verses later, He asked, "When the Son of Man comes,
will He find [persistence in] faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:1, AMP)
I thank the Lord for the ministry of Moms in Prayer which
disciples women in being like the woman in Jesus' story of Luke 18. Our Lord desires
us to be faithful, patient and persistent prayer warriors seeking His help for
our children and for their schools.
One praying mom recently wrote to me, "Our prayers are
essential to our schools! No locks, rules, or safety measures are going to stop
the "Satan who prowls the earth like a roaring lion seeking whom to
devour". But we serve the One who holds all power and we have a direct
line of prayer to his throne." Profoundly true!
This is similar to the encouragement Jesus spoke to His
disciples just prior to the cross—
In the world you have tribulation and trials
and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident,
certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of
power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]
John
16:33 (AMP)
Keep praying. The One we serve is the Name above every name
who has the power to subdue and subject all things to Himself. (Philippians
3:21)
