I'm praying, and nothing is changing!
Not unusual, Jesus would say. Prayer is not giving God a to-do list so that your problems will be solved quickly. Viewing prayer in this way is just a set up for severe disappointment and disillusionment. However, in regards to prayer, Jesus does commend persistence, tenacity, and resilience. Text is Luke 18 and 2 Corinthians !2:7-9. Episode 67
