Are you going through one of those times when it seems every attempt to resolve a problem is met with a new difficulty? During an experience like this our Lord's encouragement is clear: always pray and do not give up! Prayer is not a means of coercing God to do what we want. It is a process of recognizing His power and plan for our lives. 

In prayer we yield our lives and circumstances to the Lord and trust Him to act in His time and in His way. As we rely in God's grace not only for the outcome of our requests, but for the process as well, we can keep coming to The Lord in prayer trusting His wisdom and care for us. 

Lord, in the difficulty we face today, guard our hearts, guide our words and show your grace. Help us to always turn to you in prayer. Prayer changes everything ! Luke 18:1.
