We have dreams we want to see happen and visions we want to accomplish, but it takes a lot of energy to keep running toward them.
What the Parable of the Persistent Friend teaches us about how to think about God and prayer.
When we learn to make God a personal friend, he will become real to us, and in doing so teach us how to become a “true friend” to others.
God doesn’t want us to feel like we have to conform in order to be accepted, and wants to help us become strong enough to stand for what we believe and who we are.
God exerts and expresses an unwavering perseverance when he sees our good days having gone bad. He doesn’t stop loving us when we fail, sin, or give up.
