We might want to change our approach to prayer. Rather than the short-cut, easy way journey of prayer where we pray for the short-term, we should be prepared for the journey of the long-haul prayer.
We need to stop giving up, getting frustrated, and blaming God or getting angry with him when things do not turn out when or how we want them.
Remember the journey is usually more important than the answer to prayer. We should always be ready to make the journey for the long-haul with our prayers. (Otherwise, why pray them at all?) The road is far more scenic and we would have missed out on a great deal if we took the short-cut. The short-cuts are for the weak in faith. The long-haul journey is for the individual who wants to get the most out of the journey with the Lord.
Never give up. Keep Matthew 7:7 in mind and A-S-K (ask-seek-knock) until the prayer is answered to its completion. Keep praying.
Pray the distance. The journey is quite worthwhile--and you'll make new and special memories along the way.
