“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." - Luke 11:9-10
Practically every political discussion will include expressed distaste for those people known as lobbyists. These are those people who legitimately, but obnoxiously seek to persuade members of congress to enact legislation that will benefit their group. They will press their issue, maneuver and manipulate until they succeed. They never give up.
In a way, the Lord invites us to be lobbyists as well. When we pray, we come to the our Heavenly Father, the very King of the Universe and seek His blessing and provision. He loves us dearly and desires the very best for us, but the prayer experience is a faith stretching event. We are instructed to press the issue again, and again; asking, seeking and knocking. We must never give up.
As you "lobby", or to be more biblical, "pray", take this ministry seriously my friend. While those who lobby in Washington D.C. may be a pain to congressmen, the children of God are never a imposition to Him. Our Father in heaven is always open to bless and provide good gifts for His family. Just remember, never give up.
