We are so used to getting what we want with a single click, and anything taking longer feels like something is wrong. Sometimes, we begin to see God in the same way, expecting instant answers to our prayers. When those don’t come immediately, we may feel frustrated or even think God isn’t listening, wondering if He’s distant or not there at all. This impatience can lead us to give up, believing that our efforts are in vain. Yet, in Luke 11:9-10, Jesus reminds us to persist — asking, seeking, and knocking—because His timing and responses are not bound by our expectations. Perseverance in prayer is not trying to persuade God to act, but rather about developing trust in His will, even when it feels like nothing is happening. Delays in receiving answers can help us grow in patience, humility, and faith, teaching us to have confidence in God's wisdom. Instead of giving up, we are called to keep knocking, knowing that God always hears us and responds in the way that’s best for us.
