Speaker: David McBride Have you ever prayed for something for so long that you start to wonder if your prayers are being heard? You’ve prayed and waited, and yet, nothing seems to change. That waiting can weaken your faith. Jesus acknowledged this in a story about a persistent widow who refused to give up. We explore that parable to ask an important question: what if prayer isn’t about wearing God down, but about building our own faith up? We examine what it means to “keep knocking,” even when you don’t see the answer. Using illustrative stories—like a prayer that took 86 years to be answered and a bamboo tree that grows 90 feet in six weeks after five years of quiet growth—this message encourages perseverance. It’s a reminder that your persistence is laying a foundation and that the waiting period is not in vain. Episode link: https://grace-community.church/lesson/dont-stop-knocking
