Working out in the gym is a love-hate relationship. We love the benefits of exercise, but do not like the commitment and discomfort of exercise. But each day we press forward, knowing that after we finish, we obtain a benefit.
Likewise, prayer requires commitment and is not always convenient. But, prayer yields many spiritual benefits. We find an example of this in Luke 18. There, a widow woman who had to commit to making her petition continually known despite experiencing hardship and denial. The widow, however, finally got the results she requested. In following, we must stay committed to prayer and know that positive benefits are imminent.
Philippians 4:6 & 7 (NIV) ~ Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
