The Prayer Life [Annotated, Updated]: Persevering in Prayer

by Andrew Murray

It is impossible to be a healthy Christian, and still more impossible to be a preacher in the power of God, if everything is not sacrificed to gain the victory. The answer to the question as to how we attain it is simple. All is in Christ. Thanks be unto God, who always causes us to triumph in the Christ (2 Corinthians 2:14). In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us (Romans 8:37). It all depends on our right relationship to Christ, our entire surrender, perfect faith, and unbroken fellowship with Him.
