Pray All Night?? 12/8 Thursday Thoughts

But you say, "Don't you think sometimes it is necessary to pray all night? Jesus did." If we knew the nature of Jesus' prayers during those night sessions that might help us. If you have needs enough that it would take a whole night to cover them, then you should take the night. "Don't you think that we should keep on praying until our prayer is answered?" No, I think instead we might remind Him and thank Him for it. Unbelief becomes insistent, thinking that by works of some kind it can force God to answer. We are going to act on His Word just as we act on the word of any firm or company. We are going to act on His Word simply as intelligent men and women act on the word of a bank or any other institution that has a record of honesty. Remember, God cannot lie. He watches over His Word to make it good. The man that trusts Him is absolutely as safe as Jesus was when He trusted His Father. -- E.W. Kenyon.
