Welcome to the final episode of the introductory PrayerPower.com series! This time, we're building off of Episode 5 to explore the vital role of perseverance in prayer. Effective prayer often needs persistence. So we must tenaciously hold onto God's promises. This is especially true when answers aren't immediate. Spiritual maturity can be found in the power of perseverance in prayer. But it's also found in the variety of blessings it can bring.
