RELENTLESS
Have you sometimes felt like you have been beat down and that your circumstances will never change?
Well, you are not alone. It's something that happens to all of us at some point, but there is hope through the power of relentless prayer. Prayer is a dialogue between you and God.

It is his invitation to talk with him and ask him for help and guidance. He invites us to engage in relentless prayer to seek his face for answers. Throughout the bible, there are many examples of how relentless prayer changed lives, circumstances and nations.
To be relentless means to be persistent in doing something.
Revelations 5:8, says And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people.
Your prayers are being presented to God, therefore, do not give up until God gives you the answer to your prayer according to his will.
As opposed to having quick fixes to prayer, Jesus looks at the whole picture. He looks into eternity and draws his answer to your prayers from there.
Whatever situation you find yourself in, you must be persistent in your prayer. Sometimes things may get ugly and turn for the worst, but that does not mean that you should give in. On the contrary! Stand on the word of God, it never fails.

Is there something that you are facing today where you need to hear from the Lord?
Personally, I have been bombarding heaven about a certain thing I am praying for and will not stop until he speaks!
It is hard and sometimes you will feel like giving up, but don't! Keep knocking on heaven's door until you hear him breath into your situation and change things around.
Keep praying, keep asking, keep seeking and you will walk in the promises of God.
Looking at the biblical story of Hannah, we have one example of how she prayed for a child and God answered her prayers due to her relentless prayer. She was barren and was desperate for a child. Some may have assumed that she had lost her mind as she weeped and prayed relentlessly, asking God for a child. Some may have gossiped about her and laughed at her. That didn’t stop her from praying until she got her answer. God heard her prayers.
THE POWER OF RELENTLESS PRAYER
Whatever you are asking for, God will answer according to his word. He is the same yesterday today and forever and will never change. Some people may laugh at you or gossip about your situation, but have faith, and keep your eyes focused on the one who can change your circumstances.
I am a firm believer that God is able to do what he said he would do. He said it and that settles it, no matter how things look now. I pray that you keep on praying and you will see your breakthrough.
