Day 2: Keep on Praying, Even When It’s Hard

“Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.” Romans 12:12

Prayer is not a performance, it’s part of a relationship. God isn’t waiting to hear perfect words from you; He’s waiting for your honest heart. Sometimes we don’t feel like praying, especially when we’re discouraged or feel like nothing’s changing. But prayer isn’t just about results, it’s about connection.

Romans 12:12 encourages us to pray with perseverance, especially in difficult times. When we keep showing up, even with small, stumbling words, we’re drawing near to the God who hears every whisper. Persistent prayer doesn’t always change the outcome, but it always changes our hearts.

Remember, you don’t pray alone. You pray with a God who listens, who understands, and who answers in His time and way. So don’t give up. Even when it feels quiet, your prayers are powerful.

Prayer: God, sometimes I feel like I’ve been praying forever without hearing back from You. Help me to keep showing up, to keep believing, and to keep trusting. I know You hear me. Teach me to rest in that truth today. Amen.

Truth to Carry with You: You are heard, loved, and covered in prayer - even when you feel weak or unsure.
