Dangers of not persisting in Prayer
As a church this is a challenge that has plagued many. There seems to be the fault of not persisting in prayer, the question is, what is the reason for this folly?. There can be different reasons such as loss of interest, selfishness, becoming angry with God and such a like. But the main denominator that rests at the bottom of all of these listed reasons is the reality of human weakness. Jesus teaches us that men are to pray and not to faint, but even with such admonishing words, that does not stop us from doing the very thing we are commanded not to do. This is not good for a church that is in daily battle with the forces of evil and it has its personal negative effects on the personal life of a believer as well.
