Be Not Weary

"And let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season, we shall reap if we faint not." Galatians 6:9
Today, I find myself weary. It has been two months to the day since we began praying for this, and two months later, still no answer. It feels like Satan is relentless in his attacks, that there is no time to rejoice in the blessings or rest from his last assault. I find I am just physically tired and do not want to keep fighting...it's hard. It's hard to keep on praying when I see no tangible results. It is especially hard to not see concrete answers since I pray for this constantly for my sophomores as they continue faithfully in their commitment to pray for Tebow. It took a great amount of determination to even begin praying this afternoon, but once I did, God came through again. One of many things I have learned on this journey is the very powerful role the Holy Spirit plays in our lives. I am so thankful for His strength in me; it's the only thing that got me to praying this afternoon and it was He who sustained the prayer. I'm so thrilled He is my voice to the Father and it is He who guides my prayer. It amazes me how quick, my spirit changes once I have given myself over to Him in prayer and how much He can change my outlook. His power working in my prayer astounds me. While He may not have given me a concrete answer in my request about Tebow, He did immediately answer something else I asked Him for during the prayer. As I was praying for God to protect this prayer and those praying for it, I asked Him to overpower Satan and any of his followers who might be standing in the way of our prayers. I asked Him to remove any obstacles that may be keeping His answers from getting through and immediately He brought to my mind something I was not honoring and obeying Him in. I stopped in my prayer and took care of that situation right away. Now, at least that thing is no longer hindering my prayers...so I guess God did give me a tangible answer to my Tebow request after all.
I'm so thankful tonight, that though tired and a little battered, I did not grow weary and quit. In His timing, I will reap because I know that this is a good thing I do.
