"Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving..." (Col. 4:2)

Please consider this old illustration regarding prayer:

"Two preachers' wives sat mending their husbands' pants. One said to the other, 'My poor John, he is so discouraged in his church work. He said just the other day he was considering resigning. It seems that nothing goes right for him.' The other replied, 'Why, my husband was saying just the opposite. He is so enthused, it seems like he is closer to the Lord than ever before.' A hushed silence fell as they continued to mend the trousers: ONE PATCHING THE KNEES AND THE OTHER THE SEAT."

Let us always prayer and not lose heart.
