Give Him No Rest

Text: Isaiah 62:6-7

Exhortation:

God answers prayers, but He prioritizes the requests of those who are desperate and persistent. Don’t stop calling on His name! As long as your request is not against His will, keep praying until your prayers are fully answered and your joy is complete.

Daniel didn’t relent even after twenty-one days of continuous prayer. He kept pressing on until heaven intervened and the forces delaying his breakthrough were defeated (Daniel 10:1–21).

Jesus also taught that persistence in prayer moves the heart of God. In Luke 11:5–10, He told the story of a man who received help not because of friendship, but because of his shameless audacity. Jesus concluded by saying, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”

Again, in Luke 18:1–8, Jesus revealed one of the greatest secrets of breakthrough — persistence. The widow refused to take “no” for an answer from a wicked judge, and though he was unwilling, he granted her request because of her relentless insistence.

Beloved, the price you may need to pay for that long-awaited miracle could be persistence, resilience, and doggedness in the place of prayer. God is not tired of hearing your voice — in fact, He delights in your consistent faith. He is interested in your welfare. So, give Him no rest until your joy is full and your testimony is complete.

Reflective Nugget: The secret of answered prayers is not just in asking once — but in asking until your joy is full.
