Relentless prayer is a relentless pursuit in seeing God’s will done on earth.
“With the entrance of sin, God planned the way of salvation – our redemption; so that we would have the ability to approach Him and have the hope of heaven. God’s desire for direct contact with us in a relationship is clear in His establishment of the New Covenant. The New Covenant reveals Jesus’ desire for a personal relationship with us. Thus, God’s plan of redemption reveals His desire for us to talk to Him in prayer.
Before going to the cross, Jesus prayed to God the Father, saying, ‘And this is the way to have eternal life – to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth” – John 17:3 NLT. Jesus in His prayer reaffirmed God’s ways – the way to have eternal life in heaven is to be a child of God – Galatians 4:6, and the bride of Christ – Revelation 19:7, Ephesians 5:25-27; and the way we become a child of God and the bride of Christ is through repentance of sin, and the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. Notice the familial terms God chose in regards to our relationship with Him and Jesus Christ; they state knowledge of, thus, pure intimacy. God and Jesus Christ desire a personal conversation with us.” – excerpt taken from Revival of the Hearts, by Alysa VanderWeerd.

PRAYER
Abba! Thank You for Your love! You see everyone today who is suffering with some type of illness and so we ask for healing. You tell us in James 5:15 that the prayer of faith saves the sick and so we are praying in faith and thanking You in advance for all that You are going to do in their lives. We ask Lord, ultimately for Your will to be done; praising You for seeing their exact need. Lord, we also pray for wisdom for the US government in regards to their spending and we ask for wisdom for the British government in regards to the rise in COVID-19 cases in children; and we ask for healing for all of those children and that they would come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We also lift up Facebook to You and all it’s changes; it has become an integral part of many people’s lives influencing many, occupying many people’s time and so we ask Lord for a strong Christian presence influencing in the right direction. If Mark Zuckerberg does not know Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, we pray Lord that someone either steps into his path, sharing about Christ, or that he comes across a message or resource that shares the way to have eternal life. We extend that prayer, Lord, to all who are in some type of social media or media influence that they would encounter You through Christians or some resource. You see everyone who is searching for an answer, praying they realize the answer is found in Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
