Keep Praying

Late last night I received a text from a friend who I have prayer for for years now. She is struggling, hurting, hates life. I yearn for her to know Christ! I've talked to her, cried while sharing my heart and what Christ has done for me, I've prayed, I've hoped, but she is still lost and I hurt inside. So many times I have wondered if she will ever come to know Christ. I've felt hopeless and like there is nothing I can do. 
Someone sent me this video and this morning I watched it. The tears started to come. I saw my friend in this video, struggling, hurting, giving up. That was her. As I continued to watch, Christ seemed to say to me, "Keep praying Jess, don't give up. I'm here waiting for her. I'll never stop waiting for her. Don't stop praying for her. Don't give up on her because I'm never going to give up on her." Maybe there is someone that you hurt for, that you pray for. Don't give up. Christ never will.

A note of encouragement: last weekend, we saw a friend come to Christ. We - along with our whole Sunday School class - have been praying for her for the past 2-3 years, and watching her run the other direction. His timing is truly perfect.

Hey girl! Thanks for posting this. I'll be praying for her. It's so encouraging to hear of your persistant prayers on her behalf. God will honor them!
