The Prayer of Faith

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:24 (NIV)

Do we have the spiritual stamina to persevere in prayer, or do we grow weary after just a short time? What if we prayed for years and died without ever seeing the results? If God has put it on your heart to pray for revival, don't quit because it seems that nothing is happening. God wants us to "always pray and not give up" (Luke 18:1)

"The story is told of an invalid who formed the habit of praying for a Revival, daily, for some thirty towns and communities, and from time to time made this entry in his diary: "I was enabled to pray the prayer of faith for----- today." After his death Revivals swept over each of these thirty places, almost exactly in the order he had noted them down. God had spoken, and though he did not live to see any of the answers, yet he was given the assurance that he had been heard.
