Here’s my favorite quote from the parable in Luke 18:1: “One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.”
When you listen to “Don’t Stop Praying,” let it remind you of this truth. Whatever you need from God, whatever you believe Him for—whether it’s for yourself or others—always pray and never give up. If you read the previously mentioned Bible passages, you’ll learn that God welcomes our persistence in prayer. He’s not put off or offended by it; He sees it as a sign of faith. We pray to God, a generous Father who loves to give good gifts to His children when we ask for what agrees with His will. Read 1 John 5:14-15.
Matthew 7:7-11 (NLT): “Keep asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you, for everyone who asks receives. Everyone who seeks finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened…how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.”
Lyrics
What’s your impossible? Your “I need a miracle”
What’s got you barely hanging by a single thread?
What looks so hopeless now? What weighs down your heart with doubt?
You beg for a breakthrough, but no sign of breakthrough yet
When you’ve cried, and you’ve cried ’til your tears run dry
The answer won’t come, and you don’t know why
And you wonder if you can bow your head even one more time
Don’t stop praying
Don’t stop calling on Jesus’ name
Keep on pounding on Heaven’s door
And let your knees wear out the floor
Don’t stop believing
‘Cause mountains move with just a little faith
And your Father’s heard every single word you’re saying
So, don’t stop praying
