Why is it so easy to give up when we don’t see results right away? How can we persevere in prayer and planting seeds?
It's easy to give up because we live in a culture of immediacy. If it (whatever IT is) doesn't happen right now, we give up. The way to not give up, is DON'T GIVE UP. Preserve no matter how long it takes. If it takes until your 12 year old boy is a 38 year old man, so be it. I know that full well. But the joy of the answered prayer is all the sweeter.
