AS LONG AS IT TAKES

"Too often we pray ASAP prayers--as soon as possible. We need to start praying ALAT prayers--as long as it takes."

Mark Batterson

As For Me

That's been one of the biggest take-aways for me from Batterson's book. Keep praying! Don't be discouraged if answers take weeks, months, or even years. 

It reminds me of Mary, a woman who prayed for the prodigals weighing heavy on my heart. "You may not be alive when God answers," she said.

You'd think that would depress me. It didn't. It freed me!

I don't have to worry about what I see or don't see. I just keep on loving and keep on praying.

Trusting,
Lonnie
