Frequency of praying for something

[JChapel]

I tend to be the kind of person who likes to include a lot of intentions, for myself and others, in my prayers.

However, I’ve seemed to run into two conflicting viewpoints when it comes to the frequency of praying for something. On one hand, is the “knock and the door will be opened” side of things where if I keep knocking, so to speak, eventually my prayers will be answered in some way. On the other, I’ve run into the view that praying too frequently is a sign that I don’t trust in The Lord.

Somehow, I’m feeling that both camps make equally valid points, and there’s some level of compromise to be had, I just don’t know what that is. Anyone care to explain?

Praying for things constantly actually, to me, shows that you trust in the Lord so much. Just, don’t pray in an unhopeful way, as in “Oh Saviour, why don’t you hear my prayer”, but “Oh dearest Lord, I know that you hear my prayer. Please accept my prayers” is a good way to do so…

Read the parable of the Unjust Judge.

And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? Luke 18:7

Keep praying frequently there is nothing wrong with that.

Praying each day is important if you want to grow in your faith.Thoughts about mission faith is for me award.
Thinking about Jesus and when he was alive what he said and done is also important for our faith.
Charity is tooimportant.
