Just Keep Praying, And Don't Give Up

"Don't give up. Normally it is the last key on the ring which opens the door." Paulo Coelho

 Maybe today you are trying, you are praying, and you are asking God for something. You feel like you've been doing all of these for a while now, but nothing seems to be happening, and you are ready to throw in the towel. But let me tell you that maybe, just maybe, you are only one day, one prayer, one minute away from seeing your prayers come to pass. You just have to keep going.
 Have you ever seen in the movies, or maybe it has actually happened to you, where they can't remember which key opens the door, so they have to go through each of 50 or so keys on their key ring, and the one that actually does open the door is the very last one that they try. Think about this for a minute; What if they had stopped trying on the 10th key, the 30th key, or even the 49th key? They never would have gotten through the door. And I think that this is what a lot of us are like in our faith right now. We are praying for something to come to pass, we are waiting for it, but it just seems like we have been trying so hard and for so long that there's really no point in trying any longer. But what about this. What if God answers your prayer tomorrow? However, if you quit praying today you are never going to see that promise be fulfilled. Granted, it may not be tomorrow, it may not be next week, it may not even be next year, but God is asking you to keep praying, no matter how long it takes because it is all in His timing, and His timing is perfect. Even though you may not think so, you will see that one day, if you keep praying, when He does answer that prayer, you will be so incredibly thankful that He didn't grant it when you thought He should.
 All He is asking you to do now is give up control, trust His timing, and just keep praying.
