We Are Gripped By God's Promises

Sermon · Genesis 32:22-3

Disciples of Jesus need to learn how to pray. Learning to pray consists of a lifetime of persistence. So, what is the cause of persistent prayer? The precious promises of God. We know every promise he makes us - to forgive, to provide, to help, to be with us - he must keep. When we persistently go to God in prayer and press him to keep his promises, God does not view that as nagging. It demonstrates that our faith grasps not only that he can do what we ask, but that he will... because he promises.
