you hear my voice in the morning; at sunrise I offer my prayer and wait for your answer.

Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to teach them that they should always pray and never become discouraged.

The man said, "Let me go; daylight is coming." "I won't, unless you bless me," Jacob answered.

Put it in writing, because it is not yet time for it to come true. But the time is coming quickly, and what I show you will come true. It may seem slow in coming, but wait for it; it will certainly take place, and it will not be delayed.

Now, will God not judge in favor of his own people who cry to him day and night for help? Will he be slow to help them?

Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occasion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for all God's people.

You need to be patient, in order to do the will of God and receive what he promises.

For, as the scripture says, "Just a little while longer, and he who is coming will come; he will not delay.
