Praying Always

We've heard it over and over, "pray always," but despite the admonition that persistent prayer is a necessity lest we become weary.  Weary of what?  Apparently unanswered prayers?  Of trying to find time in our busy lives even to pronounce the name of Jesus? Of trying to find the right words?  The parable in Luke 18: 1-8 relates the tale of a persistent widow coming to an unsympathetic judge for a ruling against an adversary; she prevails because her constant bothering forces him to render a judgement in her favor for fear that she might get violent and strike him.  Jesus says that if an unjust judge will yield to unwearied petitioning, how much more will God eventually grant us what we ask?
It's not that God needs coaxing, but it is we who need to keep ourselves from the weariness which comes  worry or concern that things are not right and need to be changed. Praying does work; it changes hearts, it warms hearts, it fill hearts with the presence of the Almighty whose love is the most powerful force in the universe. It is in prayer, constant prayer we put on the mind of Christ, that we find and keep our peace.
