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

by Andrew Murray

Just think of a student, a teacher, a businessman, or a warrior. He who does not give himself wholeheartedly to his calling is not likely to succeed. That is still more true of the Christian life, and above all of the high and holy task of communing in prayer with a holy God and of being always well-pleasing to Him. It is because of this that God has said so impressively, And ye shall seek me, and find me, for ye shall seek me with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:13).
