DON’T BE TIRED TO ASK – The Seed JCLI

DON’T BE TIRED TO ASK
THE SEED
“Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” John 16:24 KJV

This verse reminds us of the power of persistent prayer, even when answers seem delayed. There was a brother who suffered from crippling back pain and sciatica for years. He prayed consistently, crying out to God for healing, but his condition did not improve. Despite growing weary, he didn’t stop asking. Years later, he finally received his healing. His story reflects the challenge of waiting on God, trusting that His timing is perfect even when we don’t understand it. When life presses us with trials—whether it’s financial struggles, health challenges, or family issues—it’s easy to grow tired and be overwhelmed like Jeremiah, who felt the weight of his ministry when he faced vicious antagonists, he felt abandoned by God. We may feel disheartened. However, God encourages us to remain steadfast in prayer and faith. He knows our situation and will answer at the appointed time. The Christian walk often includes seasons of suffering and waiting. The Bible reminds us that through tribulations, we will enter the Kingdom of God. In these moments, we must stand firm, trusting that God is too faithful to fail. He knows every detail about us—even the number of hairs on our heads— and will never abandon us.

BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 30:1-8, 18-19

PRAYER: Empower me, O Lord, never to get tired in the face of challenges and tribulations. In Jesus’ Mighty Name, I prayed. Amen.
