Relentless prayer is a relentless pursuit in seeing God’s will done on earth.
“When God calls us to pray, He is calling us to know Him on a deeper level. He desires pure intimacy in a relationship that is mutual. The term ‘pure intimacy’ is the action of holiness in the way of perfect relationship. It is the acquirement of personal knowledge of another individual in ways that line up with God’s word. Intimacy is a person’s first hand experience interacting with another, while gaining knowledge; it is not gaining knowledge through second hand experience. It is a direct encounter. God’s desire is for us to know Him in a pure intimate relationship – a direct encounter of love; for that is how He knows us – John 17:3.” – excerpt taken from Revival of the Hearts, by Alysa VanderWeerd
