Because of
sin, ill-health, fear, anxieties, worries, problems, seemingly unanswered
prayers (1 Sam.16:7 ‘my ways are different from yours’) e.t.c we are being
admonished by Our Lord not to give up hence “Pray always and do not lose heart”
LK.18:1 because “…the Spirit too comes to help us in our weakness, for when we
do not know how to pray properly, then the Spirit personally makes our
petitions for us in groans that cannot be put into words and He who can see
into all hearts knows what the Spirit means because the prayers that the Spirit
makes for God’s holy people are always in accordance with the mind of GOD”
(Rom.8:26-27)i.e whether the environment is conducive or not, we ought to
glorify GOD through Whom everything is being preserved (Heb.2:10), Who is
supreme over nations and the whole world (Ps.46:10), the Master and Lord of the
Universe (Sirach 36:1) and the One from whom everything derived its good origin
(Gen.1:31)
If we fail
to maintain our communication link (Prayer) with the Complete Being (Alpha and
Omega; Rev.22:13) then we definitely begin to walk towards despair (Rev.21:8)
which is a factor that makes us susceptible to the accusations of satan before
our GOD (Rev.12:10) hence providing obstacles to the solution of our
problems/weakness as the prince of Persia did towards Daniel prayers
(Dan.10:9-14) but insisting on prayers (the Highest of which is the HOLY MASS
[Lk.22:19-20, Jn.6:51,53-58, Lk.24:35]), meditating, sharing as well as living on His
Holy Words which gives us vantage over our enemies, teachers, elders including
restraining from evil paths(Ps.119:97-101).
