1 Samuel 7:3-12, Luke 18:1-8
"Sorrowed I shall be in spirit,
'Til released from flesh and sin,
Yet from what I do inherit,
Here Thy praises, I'll begin.
Here I raise mine Ebenezer,
Here, by Thy great help, I've come.
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home."
In a world as wicked as the one in which we live today, there has never been a greater need for the lifestyle taught by Samuel the prophet in 1 Samuel 7 and by Jesus, Himself in a parable to His disciples. That lifestyle is one of persistent prayer. Christians need not give up on their prayer life because they cannot see God working. The Scripture teaches that God will set everything right and he is the only one who has any authority and power to set things as they should be.
With such a perverse world that hates God and hates those who love God, Christians must raise fervent prayers to our only hope, our Ebenezer (Stone of Help), our Solid Rock, Jesus Christ.
