Hey, thanks for joining us today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope.

We are so glad that you found us today.

I've got a question for you.

Are you feeling stuck?

Like maybe you've hit a wall and just nothing's moving forward.

Well, you're not alone and you're not without hope.

You know, the Bible is full of people who faced impossible situations,

like Mary, Noah, Job, even the Apostle Paul,

and they all experienced one thing that changed everything,

a breakthrough from God.

So today, Pastor Rick continues his series called Seeking God

for a Breakthrough. Rick's going to walk us through biblical accounts of faith, prayer, and perseverance,

reminding us that God still moves in powerful ways. Whether you're in a season of waiting or searching for hope,

this series offers encouragement and biblical truth to help you keep going and get the

breakthrough you need. And now let's get to Rick with part one of a message called

Why I Must Keep on Praying Persistently. Today I want us to look at why must I keep on praying

persistently. And the reason why I want to deal with this is because of all of the mysteries about prayer.

And there are a lot of them. There are a lot of things about prayer. I do not understand. I don't always

understand how it works with the sovereignty of God and the will of

man and when you're praying for other people and they have a free will. I don't understand at all.

I know that just God said, do it. And he says it over and over and over 20 times in the New Testament.

He says, ask, I want you to ask. You have not because you ask not.
