What does it mean to pray and not lose heart?
It means taking a position by faith and staying put. We pray and remain undeterred by circumstances, by moods, and by everything coming up opposites to the request we are making.
Not losing heart means throwing out time and camping out for the duration until God answers ... in whatever way he chooses to answer.
The hardest thing to remember is that not all prayers are answered or will be answered within our lifetime. Still pray. Some prayers establish territory, some clear the land, others sow seeds. Then there are prayers that nurture and cause seeds to bud and the one we most anticipate, prayers that yield a harvest.
Only God knows where we are in the process so don't be discouraged. Take your position by faith and stay put. God is faithful.
