Battle During Prayer

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: Is there something you’ve been praying for, for a long time?

Woman: When will my son admit he needs help? It’s been so long.

Nancy: The Bible tells us that, as we pray, there’s a spiritual battle going on against the forces of wickedness. We can see this in the story of Daniel. As he began to fast and pray one time, an angel was sent to him. But for twenty-one days the messenger was resisted by fallen angels. After a great battle, he finally arrived to give Daniel the answer.

We can’t fully understand all that goes on in the spiritual realm, but we do know that we need to persevere in prayer. Maybe you’ve been praying, not for twenty-one days, but for twenty-one years. Don’t give up! You have no idea what God is doing behind the scenes nor when He will finally send the answer.
