The Silence is Deafening-part II

Third, God brought to mind a story I had recently told my Sunday school class about angels. Daniel had been praying for an answer to a request for 28 days. When the answer finally came the angel explained to Daniel he had been held up by the prince of Persia and that Micael had to come and help him so he could continue on with the answer (Daniel 10:1-15). I have no idea what spiritual battles have been waged with my prayer request and quite honestly, it was not something I'd even considered when I started out on this prayer journey. Satan does not want me to have victory in this matter because oh how God will be magnified in the lives of so many when He does answer. I have recognized many obstacles Satan has thrown my way in the past month and through God's power have overcome them. This one of discouragement has been the most difficult to overcome. The angels are fighting on my behalf to make this request a reality and they are in need of my continued prayer. What would have happened to Daniel's angel had Daniel given up?
Last, (yes, God has done ALOT of talking), God reminded me of the disciples in the Garden with Jesus. That one question Jesus asked them, "could you not pray for even just an hour?" really got to me. If the disciples had stayed awake just one more hour, they would have truly understood what Jesus was facing on the cross and why He was doing it. They would have heard His prayer and witnessed His passion and it would have changed their actions in the coming days. They gave up too soon. They came so close to wittnessing something amazing and missed it due to a lack of faithfulness. If I am honest, one of the things most driving my persistence in this prayer is the fear that I'll give up 24 hours before God answers or worse yet, I'll give up an hour before He planned to answer. I could not bear the idea that my kids missed meeting Tim Tebow by even one day because I could not watch and pray for even just one hour.
I feel more encouraged after writing out all the things God has shown me...maybe this is how David encouraged himself in the Lord, I don't know. All I can say is that what I thought was a test to prove God has turned into a test to prove me...what will it take to stop me from praying and believing...alot more than a day, I hope.
