Praying Persistently
I explained in this post, the importance of praying for something up to the point of receiving it. I gave a Biblical foundation for what I wrote - which is consistent with the way things are in reality. I also indicated that if someone creates a 1 or more sentence prayer and repeats it, that person will find the prayer highly effective. I am happy to see that these facts are borne out in the following scripture.
The Aquarian Age Gospel of Jesus, the Christ of the Piscean Age
Chapter 137
8 And Jesus said, The answer to your prayer may not appear in fulness in a little time. 9 Be not discouraged; pray again and then again, for God will hear. 10 And then he spoke a parable; he said, A housewife was alone at night and, lo, some guests arrived, and they were hungry, having had no food for all the day. 11 The housewife had no bread, and so at midnight she went forth and called a friend and said, Loan me three loaves of bread, for guests have come, and I have naught for them to eat. 12 The friend replied, Why do you trouble me at midnight hour? My door is shut; my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise to give you bread; to-morrow you can be supplied. 13 The housewife asked again, and then again, and then because she pled, and would not be refused, the friend arose and gave her bread. 14 Behold, I say to you, Ask firmly and you shall receive; seek trustingly and you shall find; knock earnestly, the door will open up. 15 All things are yours, and when you ask, not as a begging man would ask, but as a child, you shall be satisfied.
In addition to the fact that the housewife asked her friend repeatedly for some bread in the above scripture, you would imagine the housewife after a while, simply repeating her request, e.g., as follows, "Please give me some bread? Please give me some bread? Please give me some bread? ...." This is exactly what someone does when he repeats a 1 or more sentence prayer for several minutes (or alternately several hours over the course of several days).
The above scripture therefore directly confirms the importance of praying for something persistently, up to the point of receiving it; and at least somewhat supports the practice of repeating a request in the form of a 1 or more sentence prayer.
