This creates more dedication in us to spend time with Him. We yearn for His presence and that draws us back time and again to His throne. Our lives are forever changed.

![]() My son-in-law is a farmer. In fact, he and my grandson are the sixth and seventh generations working their 134-year-old family farm. I find farm life interesting, but realize that, having been born and raised in Vancouver, I have a lot to learn. I think my biggest city-girl faux pas so far was calling a hay field an empty lot, much to my son-in-law’s horror. To him, it is much more: it is a productive field that is an integral part of the farm’s operation and provision. Here is a 7-minute video on Persevering Prayer! Simply click on it. We are excited to also be providing closed captioning. If it is displayed when the video starts and you don't want it showing, simply click the CC down in the lower right, off. I pray it blesses you as you persevere in prayer! ![]() In my last article, I closed with the reminder that our life is like a race and requires focus, discipline, and hard work on our part. Further, that we are to “run with perseverance the race marked out for us” (Hebrews 12, verse 1). I like words such as perseverance because they remind me to keep on keeping on despite difficulties. Perseverance is defined as “continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition”. |
