*Pray without ceasing*
Be unceasing in prayer [praying perseveringly];
(1Th 5:17 AMP)
*And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; (Luk 18:1) Jesus spoke a parable of a persistent widow, who did not stop until the unjust judge dealt with her case. This parable is key in showing us that persistent prayer to God is extremely effective.
*Throughout the bible we are told to pray always for all saints. Prayer is not demanding and crying before God, but it is communication, presenting of petitions and requests to the Lord. . .Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; (Eph 6:18)
*As a Christian you received the gift of righteousness therefore you have the right to go before the throne of God to receive not just for yourself but also for whatever else you request of the Lord. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (Jas 5:16b)
*ACT*

"In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected people. And there was a widow in that same town who kept coming to him and pleading for her rights, saying, 'Help me against my opponent!' For a long time the judge refused to act, but at last he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or respect people, yet because of all the trouble this widow is giving me, I will see to it that she gets her rights. If I don't, she will keep on coming and finally wear me out!' " And the Lord continued, "Listen to what that corrupt judge said. Now, will God not judge in favor of his own people who cry to him day and night for help? Will he be slow to help them?
