“Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart…” — Luke 18:1 (NKJV)
Nothing weakens the effectiveness of prayer like inconsistency. Sadly, many believers fall into this trap. They desire results but only pray occasionally — perhaps once or twice a week — and expect long-term breakthroughs. But prayer doesn’t work that way. To develop a prayer life that bears fruit, consistency is key.
We learn this truth from the life of Daniel. He prayed and fasted for twenty-one days (see Daniel 10), and although his answer was sent from the very first day, it was delayed in the spiritual realm by the prince of Persia. If Daniel had stopped praying on day one or even day ten, the breakthrough might never have come. But his persistence triggered angelic reinforcement, and the answer reached him.
This example shows us the power of consistent prayer. When you keep praying — even when there’s no visible result — you are engaging heaven continuously until the answer breaks through. Life may get busy, and your schedule might interrupt your prayer rhythm from time to time, but don’t let it stop you. Fight to return to prayer. Let it be your daily rhythm, not a monthly occurrence.
Make prayer your lifestyle. The more consistent you are, the more impactful and productive your spiritual life will be.
